Manual Printing Services
Manuals are a necessary resource for many companies. Dave the Printer is The professional manual printer in the Dallas area.
What Is a Manual?
A manual is an instruction book in its simplest form. Some manuals can be very short, even just a single sheet but they can also be long and detailed. Manuals are written in a simple language that is clear and should be easy to read and understand. Example: For a business selling products that require an installation procedure or operation procedures, user manuals are the best form of customer support documentation to turn to.
What types of Manuals are there and Does my organization need one?
- Policy Manuals – This is a manual that covers the policies of the company. In this manual you will find out how the company operates and how the company handles different items including what things the company allows and what things the company doesn’t allow, along with what you can and cannot do at work.
- Service Manuals – These are manuals that describe how to maintain and repair the item.
- Owners Manual / Operating Manual – This is an instruction manual that tells the consumer how to operate a device as well as the functions and capabilities of the device.
- Training Manuals – This is an instruction manual that tells the consumer how to operate their device. We all need directions at some point and your training manual is there to help you!
- Organizational manual — describes positions in the company, their responsibilities, duties, functions, relations. In other words, it defines job descriptions and functions of all employees in a company, which enables it to perform all the functions in an effective way
What will make your manual most concise, useful and still look great?
We at Daves are here to help! Let’s work together to run down all the requirements of your educational materials and make decisions that will create the best user experience. From user-friendly fonts and graphics to layout, we can help.
What paper types are available and how do I choose what’s best for my manual:
Knowing what the end user’s environment will be (indoor, outdoor, office) will make a difference on the paper type used. In a wet environment, maybe the best option would be to print on a “waterproof” stock. If the end user wants to make notes of the manual, then a non coated text paper might be best. Our staff at Dave the Printer can help you choose the best paper option for your custom manual! Our most popular coated paper is a 100lb gloss text which will look great when printed in color. Need something that can be easily written on then a 70# text weight paper might be perfect. Any of these options will look good and there are other options to look at so feel free to come into our office in the Dallas Design District and look at samples.
How long does it take to get my custom manual printed?
For small quantities of an 8.5 x 11 the turn time may only be a day or two. On larger sizes like an 11 x 17 the turn time may be 3 days including folding in half. Booklet type newsletters can usually be done within five working days.
What does having a manual printed cost?
