Setting up for print (Business Cards) InDesign !!!

the peep
what's up guys trying to create a gurney dot com television geysers
your documents up for print within InDesign and specifically for business Setting up for print (Business Cards) InDesign !!! cards
not this tutorial can benefit you know a lot of different ways because you hope
you become more familiar rise between design
as well the print process now I quickly made it his business card to show you
what we're gonna be doing to this tutorial
and yes you see here we know it is really simple business cards
are now to turn up the preview window you to sit W to turn it off and on
print shop and as you see there once we do that we have to choose all that these grades in
lives near one-to-one /url lose are before start
are showing you how to set this up on explain you what you to these things are
the red outlined here are bound
are document is called are we'd essentially the bleeders their
it extends past the document window up
to ever amount size you set it to as
a kind of like a safe zone for when printing and it pretty much just account
for the movement of the printers
so there's a if you normally had I no bleed on there and you would go to print
and say the printer limine was off and he predicting sideways then you have a
problem
this pretty much eliminates that altogether by making sure when it goes
to print you're not going to have that
issue are now fighter turned the background of
BBC that on we have a document window here
and the Red buying goes about it inch or a quarter inch outside over document
window
and like I said that's is there to cap for any print issue so if you're
I wanting to trim it out as well on
you don't have to worry about I'll om cutting it and they're messing up in
having a white line
you're always going to have a clean collar coat all throughout
if you have a lead on their on so I do that promotes all my prince
our prime out with that and the economy exactly like the ruler
and you're always going to get a clean cut no matter if you mess up
so that's always a helpful way to make sure you're always going to ensure a
clean cut you know especially if you're
arms you know printing on expensive paper
in your life
pre you don't wanna have that
a possibility messing up to you always want to make sure
that you always have this do are set up now this purple on here's our margin
and such a dash is there to keep everything I nascent
organize and you came design outside a bit
but it is is they're saying okay this is where are
all my info tax images and stuff like that is going to be contained and I
don't want to go inside or outside it
and as you see here all my text in whatever
lines up to the margin and doesn't go outside it and that's just a nice
helpful way to keep things on ice
and organized on so now and show you guys how to set up a document like this
and how you get it ready for print so you go cue to file
new document command and or control and if your own PC
and what you gonna do you gonna have a new dialog box not generally
the preview section stern all you wanna make sure that's turned on C&C
with your documents doing as you can see here I
so up for when you first get it you're gonna have
the int sometimes it's set to Wed and that's going on actually said
pixels now you don't want that instead you I C
printing
and you wanted in inches is dead pixels so you always wanna make sure that is
on print and you're gonna make sure facing pages
unchecked now generally facing pages when you go to print its gonna print
front to back which
most printers can't do unless you have a printer that can print of front and back
pages
om but I truly don't print front to back because there's always
the printers that I always use always mess up the alignment of it so it is
always easier to
print individual pages and then trim about yourself now
generally you might have to happy simply just turned on if you saying sons to
print shop
on and they're like okay to deter basic pieces on that's the only time you
really have to you
but Gen II tend to keep that of
now now for the paper size gonna change it to US business card
which is
inches by two inches
and that's a standard our size for any business card
are but you can't really be anything you want odds hits all within budget
com and for number pages one said that it too because I was the one
a fun and Backpage are now
for the margins which was talking about boris has purple line
and as you can see it set up about a half an inch and
we don't want that we want it about a quarter-inch
likes so and thats is going to give us
I enough room to put all over contents inside without going too close to the
edge
and out down here is our lead NR slug which is was talking earlier
I'll now this is how far you can
disturb leaders essentially like a seko's pastor documents so you wanna set
how much you want to go past it
so I'll we could set this to the same inch
and see how big that box now as we see here inches
we too big for our business cards now you can send in an age
I'll but you really generally don't need to waste that much Inc
so we can send it out up

and that looks good to me that is gives us enough
room that we could trim without having any issues
now axes actually just clicked off that it mean to say let's go back to a
computer
I'll who file and document setup
and so if you'd like I just did there if you ever messed up where you want to
come back in edit something in your docking he's got here
file and document setup now
I for the slot you generally don't need to use log
are because we're not printing on old presses like to do so essentially with
the slug is
it was used for typesetting and typesetting you know originally was used
with wooden blocks and let blocks and there was stamp down
and you know that I'll take this is for me up but
slot was essentially there to account for the spaces in between paragraphs
and that's all that's therefore home whites in
II InDesign I'm not too sure because you know it's not really
I've never really had to use it I and II printed books before hitting the road to
use it so I don't really know whites in there but its ensuites as the whole time
type thing are you really can ignore it
our own so yeah that's quick history there
Priya for and we can just hit okay as you see here
resume now we have with our front I
and back document here I'll
now it's very easy to do once you have it set up now
another show you guys how I designed this because it's pretty straightforward
I'm pretty much here to show you guys have set up your document
and stuff like that now to set up for print
like this where it has all the bleed and what not I
made up a PDF here real quick for you guys to show you I
what happens when you print with cleaning stuff like that
so we go to print its gonna give you options for all marks
weeds and stuff like that and you're gonna when it prints out you're gonna
get a whole bunch of garbage
you deal with all this now essentially what it is
II CDs %uh circles here with the crosshairs are your registration marks
you generally don't need those
especially when you print business cards are but I just put them on their
for reference to show you what they are by general you don't need them in this
circumstance
and then these lines here on outside RR
remarks here on the very outside our remarks you can see where he extends
past
about it a half an inch and then these airlines are your crop lines for your
true mark sry wood trim with your who learn exactly like so
you as though sonya before if your ego trip here still trimming against the
whiteliner truman against the black color out the background so
if you mess up your not gonna have lost you know some like little
increment white line messing you up so that's what
%ah your not the documents will look like when you go to printed
and it's very helpful I use it all the time for my prince
and it's something that we should get in the habit of doing because it's just
away
to give you that extra step of professionalism if that's the way you
want to put it
on songs you guys have set this up right now are so once
you had your document set up in all your business cards are ready to go
and ready to print you got your I'll print
we hit can hit command P now you are seats left your printer
and you would set up how you know how many ranges
like a if you have multiple business card you set up your range but
we're going to hear suits like all and you
if you only plan pages you wanna make sure print blank pages
checked which iraqi encounter light which can be helpful upward keep down
checked
and then you gonna go cures setup wanna make sure the paper size
is set to I'll that put it on letter sheets
where is US letter as you see here this is where
business card printing but if you look here it's gonna be printing in the
left-hand corner of her paper we don't want taxes that may be able
to let us art room property so you just couldn't YouTube page position
and make sure centered now you see here now Center
inside a barred letter she sheet of paper
now once that's done you wanna go pee remark simply it's now this is what I
watched
showing you guys earlier on pedia where has all the bleeds on it
mom if we click on all printers mark that's going to give us all
upper the crop marks a bleed registration marks color bars and Paige
information
which is exactly what I'll show you guys earlier on the PDF
right here so yeah generally don't have to have all that in there
arm so like got you don't need color bars
com page information you can keep on their outlets you don't need
registration marks a generally
I you can just how crop marks flea market page information which is
essentially just gonna be the document name
the time that de you printed you can also set how thick you want the lines to
be
so you can set it to quarter financial use it to use your

you know whatever I have finished an eccentric but I usually keep it as your
point

and that's pretty much
it before that partial portion ovett on and you also wanna make sure that use da
complete settings
is checked because sometimes yet the printer can automatically set them
and you don't want that because that's going to mess-up doc meet the general
you don't have to worry about that
om so yeah and
and let's see if anything else is to be checked are
printers good printer are sometimes like I said if you're pretty if you are
facing pages on
wanna make sure that stern also in that case if you do you have
are facing pages on you want to turn them off you just couldn't hear the
layout
and then fari features and you make sure that too and finding
or printing is turned all not gonna our
stop it from printing double-sided and
now you have to do is hit hit print and you would get
essentially this on a letter she cheated Peter I am so yeah
now most and show you guys before I and thus to only be shown you guys want to
see you
about this document like I did hear into the PDF
with all the printers marks which can be helpful if you wanna send
it to print shop or whatever so once you're ready
like I said to print or your finalized in all that you got your file
any good out here too export and what you have that you just got here
format and make sure that it's on Adobe PDF print
not interactive if you do you interact if you're not gonna get the same
settings as you would hear
and we're just gonna call is obon Amrani
see and then you get this export Adobe PDF document file are
%ah dialog box
offer this you want to keep it of first and do you wanna sell it to PDF
axe or two you know whatever that is you want to make sure it's up to that
if you have that nine sometimes it screws up in everything our
compatibility matrix
set on the latest Weinzapfel print to PDF I

and
and it added that's not good you can disagree or that and then the real
important stuff is on mark simply needs
and since we already had it checked off on our printing settings it's already
checking of
in here as well so like I said it's just like in the printer you check in on
checking of
and the ego CDC export and as you can see here
it opens up our PDF with our print marks
