How To Print School Paper At Home/School And Bind It Like A Pro
Printing the school's publication at a printing press is very costly. That is, it costs an arm and a leg for the school paper fund that the biggest percentage of the SP budget goes to printing alone.
But with a regular printer and several reams of bond paper we could save as much as seventy percent of the total expenses if the printing job is done within the school.
In this post, I would like to share with the School Paper Advisers how to get rid of an expensive offset printing. This alternative, however, would not make our school paper qualify for the school paper contest as it requires offset or digitally printed papers.
Notwithstanding the drawback, printing the school paper using an inkjet printer not only saves money but also makes the work of the editorial staff more manageable since going to the printing press and back again and again for proofreading is no longer needed.
Folks, these are the things that you need to buy: an inkjet printer (choose the one that has a continuous ink system), ink bottles (you may buy original ink or that sold by third party ink companies and be sure to buy ink compatible for your printer), bond paper (number of reams depend on the total student population, teachers, reserved copies for the press conference, etc.), glue (buy bigger bottles to save more), scissors (look for a durable one), and stapler and boxes of staple wire (opt for the larger one - no.35 or 26/6 staples - and prefer quality products).
But of course, before doing all the printing stuff, the school paper editorial staff, the layout artist/editor for instance, has to layout the school paper in the Microsoft Office Publisher. This job takes time and patience, but not that hard to accomplish. In fact, doing this particular job all by ourselves is as uncomplicated as working in a group.
