There may be times when the best way to get your printing done is to use your desktop printer or office copier. In this case, you may want to keep these tips about folding in mind.
There are two types of folding – mechanical and hand. Mechanical folding is done by machine and involves feeding paper at high speeds through rollers to make a clean, tight fold. When you are printing only a few documents on your desktop printer and folding them by hand, you can approximate the characteristics of a mechanical fold by using the bowl of a spoon as a folding bone.
Select a teaspoon with a deep bowl.
Make the first (parallel) fold in the document.
Holding the teaspoon by the bowl, press the outside of the bowl against the fold and press the fold flat along its entire dimension.
Repeat for second and subsequent folds.
If you are folding uncoated stock, you can also soften the paper fibers with a mist of water prior to folding. Contact Express Printing & Graphics at (408) 400-0223 for assistance.
