In this guide, I will teach you how to print brochures in a more advanced level. Say goodbye to the basic and practical principles you have learn in marketing brochures. Now it is time to be experimental and adventurous with your color brochures.

1. Say goodbye to the trifold. The first thing you might want to try out is to say goodbye to trifold brochure printing. While the trifold is indeed one of the best and most effective configurations for brochure printing, it is also the most common. So you are hardly being original if you use trifolds today. To take your color brochures to the next level, you should think of using other fold configurations. Good folding techniques that you can play around with include, the Z-Fold, The French Fold, the Gate Fold and maybe even the Accordion Fold if you want. These other folds actually can give you more space and design opportunities for your color brochures. Try them out!

2. Using the best quality photographs and images. Now, when it comes to professional brochure printing, you should only use the best quality photographs and images in your designs. Say goodbye to your clip-arts and Internet images. To take your color brochures to the next level, always take your own photographs and create your own graphics and images. Use your own digital camera to take original high resolution images, or you can use graphic design software such as Adobe Illustrator to sketch out your own symbols and objects. This will truly make your color brochures original and eye catching.

3. Adopting new and professional themes. You should also be a bit more open and adopt new and professional themes when it comes to brochure printing. While the basic corporate, clean themes will of course always work, you will not really be original and groundbreaking when you use them. It is good to try out new themes such as oriental minimalist themes, abstract themes, grunge themes or even neo-classical themes that blend modern design and classical art theory. Be creative and look around for that new theme that really fits your brochure message. It might just be the thing you need to get people to notice your color brochures.

4. Discovering more than just inks. You might also be interested in looking at your printing inks and seeing what other options you have to take your brochure printing to the next level. You should know that there is more to brochure printing than just the four color printing process. Some brochure printing companies can add special inks to color brochures to make them look extra special. For example, adding metallic inks to certain areas of a color brochure design can add a gleam effect to it that really can be impressive.

So why not explore your printing options and see what other things you can put in your color brochures.
