Step 5 - Discuss Sheet Size

A conversation about sheet size is easy to overlook, and yet it is essential to a successful project. For designer and printer alike, this discussion is a top priority.

Assuming the designer is aware of your press’ standard sheet size can result in trouble on the back end of the project. Make this information available in your early conversations.

“Designers will sometimes assume that your press runs on a certain sheet size, not realizing that it fluctuates by press and printer.”

Tip: Add sheet size to the list of items you always cover with the designer.
