Newspaper Printing

Amber, on December 9, 2016 at 8:47 AM Posted in Do It Yourself 0 4

I want to turn my wedding programs into a newspaper. I would like them to approximate the size of a real newspaper (maybe a little bit smaller but not much). I am having trouble finding a company that prints newspapers for personal and not for commercial use. Has anybody used a company like this before?

Another thought I had was buying newsprint paper and taking it to a company like Staples, Office Depot, etc. and seeing if they could print the newspapers for me but I am worried they don't have experience in printing on that type of paper.

Any suggestions would be great! Thank you!

    Thank you, Sarah! I had similar thoughts about Staples / Office Depot.

    Makemynewspaper.com. Is anothere that came up on google when I searched "wedding newspaper". Another good option is to look up school newspaper printers because they are used to doing private one off runs. You could also contact some local printing companies.

    Printing newspapers involves using a printing press, so places like staples are not going to be able to do it.

    When you go to print, be mindful of your colors. If you photos on them, make sure they are brightened up or they will print much darker than the actual color. Reds and oranges should be printed on a magenta plate (if you do a single color or spot color on a page). I work in the newspaper business so I deal with this kind of thing twice a week (we publish two papers a week). If you have any questions regarding printing let me know! Also more color means higher cost most of the time as well. Standard is to do color on front and back, black and white every other page.
