Highwood Printing Inc.
History
Highwood Printing started more than 50 years ago as part of the High River Times, our local newspaper. The publication sold off the printing business in the late 1970s.
Jim and Catherine Vanier purchased the business in 1995. They promptly updated the business to provide greater printing quality and capacity. Highwood Printing is operated by the Vaniers and their friendly staff in beautiful downtown High River.

Stock
Consider the stock you need. There are several types. Some examples are:
Weight
Paper comes in a variety of weights, from 50 to 100 pounds. The 'basis weight'
is figured by weighing one ream (500 sheets) of paper in a particular paper's
standard or 'parent' size. Cover weights are used for folders and business cards
while text weights are used for letterhead, flyers and sometimes brochures.
Prepress Basics
First and foremost be compatible; be sure that the programs and fonts you are
using will work for your printer or service bureau. Do not be afraid to contact
your printer if you are not sure about a specific aspects of building an
electronic file.
Create the digital document the size you expect it to be when cut down and do not forget the bleeds, if applicable.
