candlebean Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 Hi all!Does anyone have their own catalogue printed up, or do most of you just do brochures? I would love to have a cataloge for when I start doing home parties, incase someone wants to just do a catalogue party, but everwhere I look it seems so expensive! Has anyone found a good deal on getting these done?TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Budgie Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 I have a catalog, but I just print it up myself on Publisher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candlebean Posted April 26, 2006 Author Share Posted April 26, 2006 What do you use to put it together? Just staple it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brooke Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 I would love to have a perfessional catalog printed up.Seems to not be in the budget at this time.Local printing company wanted $1.40 per sheet or so. I am having great luck with Brochure paper purchased at Office Depot. Using a digital camera for pictures,I cut & paste into a wordperfect document (that is right wordperfect) but you have to use what you got. *getdown* Print out with a inkjet printer.Everyone loves them and can't believe they are made at home Woo HOOO and I of course am saving...................money!!!!!!!! keep that overhead down so I can spend it somewhere else LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candlebean Posted April 26, 2006 Author Share Posted April 26, 2006 Does brochure paper have that shiny catalogue feel to it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Budgie Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 What do you use to put it together? Just staple it? Yes, I just staple it. I use an elongated stapler I got at Office Max and brochure paper (the shiny kind - like photo paper). I get the same response as Brooke. People love them and can't believe they are homemade.

daniedb Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 You can get it shiny, but I actually prefer the matte look, it's more my style. And I have mine stapled at Kinkos, they have a machine that makes it look perfect. I would have had to have buy one of those extra long staplers that cost as much as having it done would have. I downloaded a great template from www.microsoft.com, they have some great starting points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brooke Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 I am using a matte finish right now.Looking at the website:http://www.officedepot.com/textSearch.do?uniqueSearchFlag=true&Ntt=brochurethey offer glossy for inkjet I just haven't tried it yet.I will have to give it a try.I just wasn't sure if the inkjet could bind the ink into the glossy finish good enough.I have glossy labels for my jars and they can scratch off.Hope this was some help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candle Man Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 I find the glossy shows sweaty finger prints real bad. IMO - regular ink jet printers is not very good, it will bleed if it gets wet. Laser is best but I use a Epson printer with Dura Brite Ink which is water, smudge & light resistant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candlebean Posted April 26, 2006 Author Share Posted April 26, 2006 You guys are the BEST. DH is going to love this!
