sall good

What are the specifics on letterheads then?

i.e. the doc size you make it in AI, then how its loaded into the printer for the client or myself. For example I write something in word, where do i make the margins so its all neat etc. Maybe I just have to experiment?

basically you set the illustrator document up as A4, design up your letterhead including logos, contact details etc. then work out where you want the body to be placed - margins, width and height. also setting a font style is a good idea. if you are going 4 colour process make sure all your images are in cmyk and the document colour mode is cmyk. otherwise you can use spot colour.

setting up the word doc is easy just set up the margins with the same measurements as you have made them in illustrator and presto, make sure you use the desired font for styling. you wont need to put logos etc on the word doc if you are running a pre printed sheet through the printer.

if you are printing the whole thing yourself, to start with you will probably set up your word doc like the illustrator file, with logos contact details etc. most home printers dont print bleeds so make sure nothing goes off the edge, you will probably need about 10mm allround to be safe.

hope that helps

Thanks.... sure!
