Do you have too little or too much space to deal with in booklet printing? This is a common problem really since most content will not always match precisely the dimensions and range of typical booklet printing. You have to know how to mix and match certain booklet design elements to make things fit and look good with each other. In this guide, I will teach you how to maximize the space of your color booklets to get the best and most efficient design.

• Paragraph layouts – First let us talk about paragraphs. You have several options to make paragraphs fit into your booklet printing pages nicely. First you can try changing the paragraph alignment to “justified” to make sure all the small spaces get filled out by the paragraph text. If this does not work you can try adjusting the line spacing of your paragraphs from single to “1.5” or “double” spaces so that paragraph length can increase to almost double. Lastly, you can add some paragraph fillers or dividers like decorative lines and such just to mark the change of one section to the next. This should let you eliminate any wasteful white space in between paragraphs or major sections and subsections.

• Managing text sizes and spaces – If your paragraphs are still quite bulky or inappropriate in terms of spacing, you may also consider maximizing the text sizes and character spacing to get the most of your booklet space. Try to use software applications that let you set these precisely beyond the default settings. Professional desktop publishing software such as Adobe InDesign might be helpful for these precise change of text elements. Shifting the text size and character spaces can mean a lot in the overall design of your booklet, making things look larger or small depending on your settings.

• Adding illustrative images – Fillers are also great at changing the dynamics of your booklet to make it more interesting and complete. Adding images that describe what you are saying, or adding pictures of the actual things you are talking about not only helps in communicating your message, but it also fills in those white spaces that you can't get rid off. So if you want to make some of your booklet printing pages look great while maximizing space, illustrative images should be first in your agenda.

• Adding extra design details – Now, if you can't think of anything else to fill you white spaces with, you may want to add just a little design detail such as a border, a text box or even just little lines or dividers on the right places. A text box is great at displaying important quotes in the text that people should focus their attention to, while those other design details can be used to emphasize sections that maybe if interest to people. Just try to match your designs with the overall theme of the booklet layout to make things look seamless.

Great! With these small changes and additions, you can already mix and match these factors to make sure everything fits in your layout for booklet printing Always try to print booklets that are lean and efficient to minimize cost at maximize impact. Good Luck!
