What is the typical download size of your templates and how long will it take to download it?

The brochure size will vary based on a variety of factors including the type of application you have chosen to purchase the template in, graphics included etc. Typically, the size falls in the range of 15 to 20MB. All our templates are made available for download in a .zip format (compressed format) and hence the download should be very fast.
The template I downloaded won't open? What went wrong?
-
We compress our templates in a .zip format to increase download speed and so you will need to unzip it first to view the contents. Unzipping takes a few moments and can be done using unzip software programs like Winzip.
Click here to download Winzip or download the free open-source 7-Zip.
I purchased a template from you, but somehow misplaced the file. Can I get the download link again?
-
Your purchases are available permanently on your downloads page. You can re-download at any time at no further charge.
Editing and Redesigning
Are your templates editable? And if yes, do I need any professional software programs to edit them?
-
Yes, all our brochures are completely editable. You can change anything from content, to images to font sizes and typography. If or not you require a professional software program for editing depends on what kind of editing you need to do.
Basic Editing :
-
Basic editing involves changing text and company logo in the template. Generally speaking, this is all that you need to do, unless you want to drastically alter the appearance of the template. If you think this is what you will be doing and do not need any graphics changed or removed, you can simply download the template in .EPS vector format and do the editing. It's as easy as copying, pasting, deleting and typing text.
If you have an editing software program already installed, try downloading the file based on the editing software and edit it therein. Basic editing using a graphic software program would require gaining some knowledge on using the software first. You can gain this knowledge by going through some related tutorials online - try searching for "beginner Adobe Illustrator tutorials" on Google.
Advanced Editing :
-
Advanced editing involves, changing regular fonts to special fonts, replacing/altering graphics, changing colors, resizing etc. To do all this you will require one of the graphic editing software programs mentioned below. In addition to the software program, you also need to have a good deal of knowledge in graphic editing to carry out advanced edits. If you think you do not have sufficient knowledge, you can make use of a graphic designer to do the job.
Can I resize the designs?
-
All our brochures are available in standard acceptable sizes, but you can resize them to suite your needs. Be aware that although our designs are in vector format, some images contained in the designs will be raster (pixel-by-pixel) and therefore cannot be infinitely resized - pay careful attention to how the image appears at 100% zoom in your design program, before sending it to print.
Can you do the editing for me?
-
We do not offer editing service at this time. We are interested in making you our long-term customer however and will offer friendly advice as time permits.
I like the design, but would need some colors changed to suit my company logo. Any suggestions?
-
You can make use of a graphic designer to make color changes or simply make the changes yourself in your favorite EPS vector graphics program.
Can I change/alter images on the template?
-
Yes you can replace or alter any image you want on the template.
Compatibility
I am a MAC user; are your brochure templates compatible for the MAC OS?
-
Yes they are. But you need to have a software program that supports the .EPS vector format such as Adobe Illustrator or Gimp.
Which software programs (graphic editing programs) are your templates compatible with?
-
We suggest Adobe Illustrator or the free alternative Gimp (with Ghostscript plugin). Adobe Illustrator is quite high-priced but is the professional standard for design software. Gimp is free, however installing the Ghostscript plugin is a bit complex, so you need to decide which is best for you.
If you are a deadline situation we suggest installing the free trial of Adobe Illustrator and you can evaluate all the software options at a later time.
Printing
How can I print my designs? What options are available?
-
You can print the templates using desktop printing within your offer or go for commercial press printing.
Printing Using Commercial Press:
-
If you think you need huge print volumes, it would be better to consider printing in a commercial press. After locating a commercial press printing service, all you need to do is burn the edited template onto a CD and provide the same to them. The printing service will then print out the brochures in a bunch and slice them to make finished copies. All our brochures come with bleeds so the slicing will not affect the brochure look. In this case the printing service provider will give you a choice of papers on which to take the print. You can decide on the paper based on your budget and needs.
Desktop Printing:
-
Desktop printing can be done in-house using an inkjet or digital printer. You will require special 80lb or 100lb stock papers to print the brochures on. These papers are easily available in the market at a low cost in a variety of gloss and matte finishes. You can make use of desktop printing in-case the volume of prints you require is not very high.
Can I make use of a commercial press printing, to print my designs?
-
Yes you can do that. Our designs can be printed in-house or using a commercial press.
What are bleeds and what should I know about them in order to ensure better quality printing?
-
Bleeds are nothing by extra template size, generally in the range of 1/8th of the total template size. Bleeds are useful when the templates are finally sliced to get the final product by ensuring that there is solid ink coverage on all template edges.
Can these layouts be set to 2-color instead of 4-color for commercial printing purposes?
-
Yes, you can change the design to 2-colors using an advanced photo editing software such as Adobe Illustrator.
What sizes are your brochures available in?
-
Our templates come in a variety of common sizes. You can easily resize any of the designs to match a different size format.
Customization
I like a template, but don't know how to make the changes. Can you customize this template for me?
-
We do not offer customization services at this time.
