Four Steps To DIY Journal Printing

Here is what you need to do if you've decided on sending out your DIY journals as New Year's gifts:

What Would You Like To Include?

During the planning age, you need to consider what you will be adding to your journal. Is it a collection of your recipes, or your artwork, or your child's? Will it hold stories or standard planner pages? Or maybe a mixture of all! The options are endless!

Once you have decided on the content that you will include in the journal it’s time to get started!

Use The Correct Layout

The layout refers to the arrangement of material in the “soon-to-be” journal and the size and the style of binding you will be using.

This holds great importance because it affects the printing process that will be used to print the journal. It’s easier to go with the full page layout since with folded page layouts, care needs to be taken to print four pages on one (first and second, second last and last.). If you're new at DIY journals it’s a better idea to opt for full page prints.

With the full page layouts, you need to ensure that the printing is back to back and no sides are left blank unless of course, it's intentional!

Print The Pages

Once you've created a detailed layout of the journal, all you need to do is print your pages. Using the best quality printer is an essential part of DIY journal printing. The product you choose needs to have high-quality results to make your journals look professional and a lovely gift. Opt for the best printers Abu Dhabi has to offer.

Use The Right Paper And Ink

Journal printing may require a printer, but more importantly, it requires the right kind of paper. Since matte and glossy paper both contribute towards a certain appearance, the choice will be determined by the type of journals you are preparing.

For journals that have photographs and images, opt for glossy paper to bring out the quality of the image. For regular "Dear diary journal”: you can opt for a matte finish paper which makes writing easier.

If you're confused, ask your printer retailers for help as they may be able to guide you best, not only regarding the type of paper you should be using but also about the type of paper that is compatible with your printer.

Choose A Cover And Binding

Depending upon the kind of look you're trying to create, you can opt for a simple hardcover or a leather-bound journal.  Both can be obtained from craft stores.

Craft stores can also help you bind your journal together; however, if you're planning on starting a journals business, it's always a good investment to get a spiral binding machine for your startup. Opt for a screw post binding as it allows you to add and remove pages whenever needed.

Parting Words!

If you're planning on sending out your journals as gifts, it's essential that the final product be as appealing as it can be! Regardless of the type of journal that you've chosen, the final product should be professionally printed and should appeal to your recipients.

Opt for Xerox Abu Dhabi printers and high-quality paper to print your journals and let your recipients feel important when receiving a journal that's not only beautiful to look at but has a customized appeal to it!  No one in this world doesn't love a gift that's beautiful and customized!
