Print Speak

Right, I'm looking to get a leaflet printed. The size is 147mm x 420mm with 5 folds (like an accordion) and - from my lovely new paper samples from the printer - I'm looking for it to be printed on 200gsm silk board.

If I send this off to the printer, will they laugh at me? Do I sound like an idiot?

I'm also looking at books to get which will help me with preparing something for print. What do you think about these books? Any recommendations?


Amazon.co.uk: Getting It Right in Print: Digital Pre-press for Graphic Designers: Mark Gatter: Books



Many thanks,

A very anxious 'Anxious'

Not sure I know what you're asking? Just send them a simple spec:

4 colour process, printed both sides on 200gsm silk art.
420mm x 147mm, concertina folded to a finished size of XXXXmm.
Quantity: XXXX
Delivery to: blah blah

Summat like that.

That's exactly what I was looking for, thanks!
