💡 Not sure which layout to use? If you're printing at a professional print shop, ask them before downloading: "Do you need a print spread or reader order file?"

✨ Printing Tips

• Laser: Laser printers produce professional-quality results with sharp detail and accurate color — 24–28 lb paper works beautifully.
• Inkjet: For inkjet printers, use a coated matte or semi-gloss paper (28 lb or heavier) at your printer's highest quality setting for best results.
• White border note: Standard home and print shop printers are not full-bleed printers — your program will print with a small white border around the edges. This is normal and expected. Simply trim the edges after printing for a clean, finished look.
• Local print shops like FedEx, Staples, and The UPS Store can print your program and will ensure professional color accuracy. Tabloid size (11" x 17") folds to a standard 8.5" x 11" booklet. Standard size (8.5" x 11") folds to a 5.5" x 8.5" booklet — a classic half-fold program size.
