Original copy: Use a good quality original. The higher its quality, the higher the quality of the reproduction. Black ink and high-resolution type on white paper reproduce best. Use standard 8.5"x11", 20-pound, white bond paper, with black type and black ink for line drawings. Originals on lightweight stock or assembled as pasteups do not feed easily through automatic document feeders. Colored paper used as an original may produce a gray background on a reproduction.

Assembly: Affix items to your master with tape, not wax. Make sure the tape does not cover any type or graphics, or the covered part of the image may appear darker than the other parts of the image.

Stock: Decide what type and color of stock you want.

Finishing: Decide how you want your photocopies bound, collated, folded, reduced, or enlarged.

Deadline: Specify a completion date on your order form.

Cost: If you have budget concerns, ask for a cost estimate.
