How to Print Letterheads
Businesses use letterheads on their correspondence such as office memos or for letters to clients or customers. A business letterhead is a true symbol of a commitment to professionalism. Once your company's letterhead has been designed, you can print documents including it on your own.
- Design your letterhead. Depending on your budget you can contract a company to conduct the design services for you or use an in-house design software program. However, keep in mind the letterhead you chose doesn't have to be a logo, but it can also be a specialized font. Whatever option you choose ensure that includes the name of your business, address, phone number, fax number and website address.
- Insert your letterhead into the document file of your choice. Once you have your designed letterhead saved as an image file, you'll easily be able to insert it directly into any document. Always place the image at the top of the page so that can easily be viewed, either on the right, middle or left side of the document.
- Preview your letterhead. Most software programs come equipped with a "Print Preview" button. Previewing your document first will allow you to ensure that your letterhead is properly placed. It will prevent you from wasting paper or ink if there are any problems with the document.
- Print your document with your letterhead on it. Ensure that your printer preferences have been set to the highest quality for the most professional look. You'll also want to consider purchasing high-quality printing paper as well.
