===Recommended Paper===

We made a promotional brochure for PS:1 to support fundraising efforts in 2024.

Any 8.5" x 11" cardstock ~~around~~ 160-190 GSM should work ~~fine~~. ~~This is the~~ one ~~we used for the first print~~:

[[File:Screenshot of PS-1 Brochure (v6).png|thumb|Screenshot of the [[:File:Ps1-brochure-v6.zip|brochure PDF (v6)]]]]

=== Current Version ===

'''Download:''' https://wiki.pumpingstationone.org/wiki/File:Ps1-brochure-v6.zip

Includes PDF and the InDesign source file.

=== Editing the Brochure ===

* Made with Adobe InDesign 2022

* Install fonts included in ZIP: Comfortaa, Open Sans, GM Exp Norm

* Please always share ZIP with fonts, linked files, PDF, and INDD

* Please remember to update the [[Brochure#Changelog|Changelog]]

===Printing the Brochure===

Documenting recommended steps to ensure consistent results.

====Recommended Paper====

Any 8.5" x 11" cardstock 160-190 GSM should work. We used this one:

[https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07D4YF3K4/ Neenah Index Cardstock, 8.5" x 11", 90 lb/163 gsm, White, Lightweight, 94 Brightness, 300 Sheets (91437)]

===~~How to Print~~ the ~~Brochure~~===

====General Notes====

~~Notes~~:

*Margins are baked into the design. Always print at 100%.

*For best results, use the [https://www.support.xerox.com/en-us/article/KB0014064 bypass tray (Tray 5)]

**Bypasses any dirty rollers on the inside of the printer

**Can print 20-30 brochures at a time using bypass

**Do test prints with the same tray you'll be using for the full batch

*When loading paper, select "Lightweight Cardstock"

**This affects what thickness the printer expects

**More accurate thickness = less chance of misfeed

====Printing Steps====

#Setup the printer:

##Insert cardstock into Tray 5 of the Xerox

##Change paper type to "Lightweight Cardstock"

#Setup your computer:

##Connect to PS:1's WiFi to detect the printer

##Install the [[Xerox Workcentre 7855 Printer / Scanner / Copier|Xerox WorkCentre 7855]] drivers:

##*https://www.support.xerox.com/en-us/product/workcentre-7800-series/downloads

##Open the brochure PDF in Firefox

#Menu > Print

##'''Scale:''' 100%

##'''Two-sided printing:''' Flip on short edge

#Click "Print using the system dialog..."

#Select "Xeros PS" > Preferences

##'''Paper:''' Tray 5 (Bypass)

##'''2-Sided Printing:''' 2-Sided Print, Flip on Short Edge

##'''Print Quality:''' High Resolution

##'''Orientation:''' Landscape

#Click "OK" and "Print"

#*[https://www.amazon.com/VEVOR-Electric-Creasing-Machine-Multi-function/dp/B06XWDQDBQ VEVOR Electric Creasing Machine 18 Inch 460mm]

#*It's big and blue and likely near the printers

#Open the lid and verify that the wheel is set to crease the page into 1/3 + 2/3

#*We currently only have one creasing wheel

#*See photo for an example setup

#Close lid, turn on machine, insert paper, and make the first crease

#*'''Make sure the front faces up'''

#*Creasing with the front facing down results in broken fibers at the crease line

#*Support the paper on the sides as it feeds through to prevent the crease line from wandering

#*(You get a feel for this after a few creases)

#Rotate paper upside down, and crease again

#*Keep the front facing up, just rotate it around the z-axis

#Use a bone folder (or your nail lol) to fold the paper along the crease marks

#*You may need to do a little finessing to make sure the inner flap is marginally smaller than the outer

#*(You'll get a feel for this after a few creases, too)
