Welcome to the Glorybound Lasertrain

Gone are the days of the huge printer doing the work. And, happy are the days we can work within a single piece of paper reducing the waste to nearly zero.

Basic Instructions for Pattern and Print Sets

How to use Print Sets

Print Sets and Pattern Sets are designed for individuals who have media they need to publish. They are like cook books for publishing in that they give information which directs the cook to make something specific. It is important to point out that the Print Sets do not teach the program of software indicated in the pattern or Print Set, but show how to utilize the software to bring about a specific product. It is comparable to cooking lessons in that one who whips up a recipe doesn’t need to know everything about the food, the oven or the kitchen: He just needs to know how to come up with what he needs within the structure he is given using the ingredients supplied. With the Print Sets, you supply what needs to be printed and I tell you how to ‘cook’ it using specific software which it is created in.  The Print Sets are written in a format familiar to web page developers. It takes the reader from screen to screen using indentations for clarification if structure. 

 

Print Sets give information on:

Types of paper recommended for specific outcomes-which drawer to place the paper into for the most consistently reliable results. Certain drawers will not allow the user to fold the paper in half when the paper is drawn from them.}

  1. What to program the computer to do which will tell the printer how to print what you need. 
  2. Specific printer program elements to insure the printer and computer are in alignment. 
  3. The publishing principles used in the Glorybound Print Sets drive the printer using the computer software. They differ from conventional printing techniques which are ‘printer driven’. Many businesses operate using the Océ Imagistics Cm5520 printer using printer driven options. {See the standard manual} The manual presumes that the individual already has a copy of what needs to be copied and goes to the printer, programs the functions and looks for the results in the output tray. 
  4. With the Glorybound Publishing Print Sets what needs to end up in the output tray is new: There is no copy to copy. So, in essence, the copier becomes more; it enables the individual to become his own publisher. For, when you create a ‘written work’ then program the computer to drive the printer and gather your ‘work’ in the output tray, you have ‘published’ your own work and have become a publisher.


Welcome to digital publishing. To use these templates to the fullest extent the reader must have a working knowledge of InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator, PDF conversion, Avery, NeroStart Smart, Epson, Wasp or Microsoft Word. 


How to use Pattern Sets

Pattern Sets are similar to a pattern used in making clothes. They are lay-outs of specific items given in software options which are most frequently used for making a particular item. It is necessary to have the software downloaded into the computer in order to open the Pattern Set. 

The Pattern Sets (just like dress patterns) give basic instructions on best paper options, cutting and compilation of the file to make it what was used in Glorybound Publishing. All of the Patterns are as a result of what was used within our company, therefore it is possible to purchase a like item and ‘copy’ the design while using the Print and Pattern Set to obtain a similar result. 

For instance, if you desire a folded calendar to be printed on your office printer using 11 x 17 paper, you can look at Print Set #18 and Pattern Set # 18. The Print Set gives instructions on how to program the computer to direct the printer to pull paper and/or cover from specific drawers, staple and bind, and produce a similar calendar to the one we print each year from our office. The Print Set is given in outline format according to screens on the printer and the computer. 


Pattern Sets are templates for digital publishing. We have included several which give instruction and direction related to file changing (blowing up and shrinking) as well as common registration needs a publishing company utilizes (uploading covers to Bowker’s Link when a book number ISBN is registered). 

Lasertrain Levels

Lasertrain Ski Slope Levels of Difficulty

The Glorybound Lasertrain is organized according to levels of difficulty. The Print and Patterns Sets have colored diamonds on them. The diamonds correlate with levels of difficulty on a ski slope. 

Red (Rope Tow) are easy projects. This is the ‘bunny slope’ which is for beginner skiers. 

Blue (Intermediate Slope) are more difficult projects. If the individual has some knowledge of software operations and how to work publishing it will not be too difficult to navigate down the slope. 

Black Diamond (Hard) are difficult projects. They are usually multi page or multi-task projects which are easier learned by working on a few which are portions of the final project. The Black diamond projects are most challenging. 

Lasertrain Logo

Lasertrain symbol

Lasertrain Logo Indicated Software Needed

The Lasertrain Logo is included on most of the Patterns and Print Sets. It has many colors indicating software and a train coming up in the center. The software colors are changed according to types of software because we don’t have enough colors for all of the software programs we utilize. When looking at a Lasertrain Card, it is easy to see which software needs to be installed to open the Pattern Set because the Software is the only colors filled in on the Logo. For instance, if InDesign and Photoshop are needed to make the book you want to make, then the InDesign color (tan) and the Photoshop color (blue) will be the only ones colored in. If you have those two software then you can open and manipulate this software.
