Copiers today can produce much more than duplicate copies. Here’s how to take advantage of finishing options that will impress clients and maximize creativity.
Producing Large Packets
One of the more time-consuming parts of creating large documents is putting all the pages in order. Collating is a document finishing function that produces pages in the same order as your original copy. For example, if you wanted to make two copies of a two-page document, it would print out: page 1, page 2, page 1, page 2.
Finish Projects In-House
Booklets are an impressive way to present information to stakeholders or to sway people with extended data. Most times these projects are sent to a company who specializes in creating advanced packets, but with copier finishing options you can do it yourself. Imposition software is a way of telling the copier which pages need to be on the same paper. For example, an 8-page booklet needs to have page 1 and page 8 printed on the same page because it will fold in the middle. A general office copier can handle a 64-page booklet made from 16-pages.
Other Document Finishing Options
- Stapling: Specify the binding edge and if you need one or two staples and you’ll have pieced together documents in no time.
- Hole-punchers: To create files for a binder, choose between two or three punches for whichever kind of binder you have.
- Pamphlets: This kind of document makes it super easy to pass out concise, easy to read information.
- Folding: This finishing option lets you get creative with how you want to present products such as pamphlets as you can decide if you want a C-fold or Z-fold.
- Document Insertion: If you want to supplement a pamphlet or other project with information this finishing option allows you to do that.
