Take Back

A Leaflet to Promote The Simultaneous
Policy
Scroll down to see a low-resolution preview of
the front and back sides of a new ISPO-authorized leaflet to promote The
Simultaneous Policy (SP). This is the A4-size version (8.26 X 11.69
inches; 210 X 297 mm). Because it would have a smaller area (8.5 X 11 inches;
215.9 X 279.4 mm), the letter-size version - if there is a demand
for it - would probably be designed to contain all the text but either
one or neither of the boxed quotes you see on the left side of the front
and back of the A4 version.
The A4 version is available in two high-resolution
(300 dpi) versions suitable for printing (printing press or computer printer)
or photocopying:
-
A bleed version with about 5 mm of symmetric
"bleed" (extended background) around the edges to be trimmed off by a professional
printer after a print run. You can view and download the front here
and the back here.
Each side is about 3 Mb in size. Consult your printer to ask if the bleed
version would be appropriate and how much more it might cost to print.
You may prefer to print the no-bleed version with a small margin around
it.
-
a no-bleed version (front
| back
- about 3 Mb each) that looks exactly like the low-resolution previews
below. It's suitable for home printing or for bringing to a photocopy centre
that can send the files directly to their copiers (photocopying from a
printout of these images isn't recommended; the greys will look blotchy).
For printers or photocopiers that always place a small margin around the
image they print/copy (I believe this is the norm), the no-bleed version
should be set up before printing or photocopying to centre and scale/fit
the entire image onto the page; otherwise the printer's default
margin will cut off the edges of the image. Even if your printer/copier
does bleed to the edge of the page, these images will only fit edge to
edge on A4-sized paper. But if you scale and position the image flush left
to letter-size paper, that should leave only one white margin on the right
side that you can trim off yourself. Alternately, you could scale to fit
to legal size paper, which would leave about a two inch margin at the top
or bottom if you position the image top or bottom.
Please note that there appears to be a tendency for
commercial printing to muddy the contrast of the images resulting in a
main column on the front page (the one with the background picture) that
some find too dark and indistinct. I recommend that you consult your commercial
printer or photocopy service about how this effect can be eliminated or
minimized. Photocopy services, at least, can produce single sample copies
for you to examine until they've adjusted the copier settings for best
results.
To slow down loading time, I've greatly compressed
the size and resolution of the preview images below. The actual leaflet
will be as, or nearly as, crisp as the high-res images linked to above
and below. To read the text in the preview images, zoom in (in Internet
Explorer) by right-clicking on the image and selecting "zoom in." You may
need to click "zoom out" to see a full page at a time. For a colour
html version of the leaflet that you can print directly from your Internet
browser, click here. If you have
any questions, email me at baumel@mts.net.
