The con book is created in InDesign. Generally we take the previous year’s files and strip away what we don’t need then add in current info. The files get very large due to the image resolution required for print.

The con book is a full sized “magazine” at 8.5”x11”.

We generally get it printed at Short Run Printing Ltd. and are happy with their quality and price.

Business Card adds are 3.5” x2” and should not have added bleed.
