Warning: Common Flyer Mistakes
You may be worried about ordering thousands of flyers from a flyer printing company just in case they come back with an error. This is understandable as there are some common mistakes that people make when ordering flyers. It’s not necessarily the fault of the flyer printing company. If your flyers come back wrong make sure you check your flyer designs before you “go to print” and avoid these 3 common flyer printing mistakes.
1. Not enough bleed.
Not having enough bleed around the edge of your design can have bad outcomes for your flyer printing job. Your flyers need to look professional in order to attract customers, so having unprinted edges and text cut off can be very distressing for a business ordering flyer printing. Make sure your flyer design has at least 3mm of bleed space around it before you print. This means continuing the design for an extra 3mm. This will allow the flyer printing company to print your flyer designs with no problems. Some printers have different bleed measurements so if you are unsure check with your flyer printing company before.
2. Wrong fonts printed.
If you are using a special font you have bought for the job the chances are that the printing company doesn’t have the font. They will pick the font that is near equivalent or the default font setting and will print the design with this font. To avoid this problem make sure you check the fonts you use for your flyer design. To be safe check all fonts before printing.
3. The black is not black enough.
This is again a common printing mistake. This problem can be easily fixed before the design is even sent to the printing company. When creating your design, mainly the black coloring in the design has been created using the black color from your swatch palette. Printing this black will result in a dull and grayish color of black. To get a vibrant black you will need to add additional colors to your black such as magenta. Talk to the flyer printing company about the best levels of color needed in your black.
