Layout, Formats and Fold: Full Contents

The Cost of Not Using a Template
Designing from scratch takes four hours. This file cuts it to fifteen minutes.
Many designers set up brochures in RGB because it looks correct on screen. When that file reaches an offset press, the printer converts the colors automatically - and the result often shifts noticeably, especially in darker tones. This file uses CMYK values calibrated for print output, which removes one of the most common sources of color mismatch between screen preview and final print run.
