PRINTING

printing is a faff and a half
see my printer doesnt print double sided and i dont have indesign, so putting my stuff into indesign was a waste of time and i have to put all the pages back in manually
it gets confusing when trying to figure out which way to put the paper in so that the image isnt upside down and the wrong way around
it turns out i was getting so confused with this because photoshop prints the opposite way up to preview and i was using them both, so now ive figured out which way the paper needs to face to print from preview and just printed them all like that
it went okay but it was stressful cos i only had just enough of each paper to do two tests/mistakes and then print the actual pages.
i bought a bunch of different papers, sugar paper in offwhite and a light grey, bulky newsprint, antique white and the one i actually used which ive forgotten the name of
it was a difficult decision because some felt nicer but looked rubbish and vice versa
also i wanted to print them at a6 but its really complicated because you have to use the dialogue box to reposition each side of the page and its hard to make them line up

i had to split up the pages too so that they would be on the right side
concerned it wouldnt meet up properly when printed but its fine

heres the splits





and gratuitous photographs of my booklets
