Print-At-Home Publisher 2 Templates
A downloadable game
Designed for easy printing at home or your local library, on landscape US Letter (11in W x 8.5in H) or A4 (297mm W x 210mm H) paper. Zip files contain templates for:
- Trifold (labeled for z-fold and roll fold)
- Gatefold
- Double Gatefold
Testing with a Brother MFC-L2710DW printer, I found the following settings to be best for successful printing.
- Scale: none / fit to paper.
- Print double-sided.
- Flip on short edge.
Typefaces used here are Archivo (9pt) and Archivo Narrow (bold 14pt and bold 25pt). Text is full justified to show margins. US Letter margins are 0.236in, creating a 0.472in gutter between “columns”. A4 margins are 6mm, creating a 12mm gutter between "columns".

Love the fact that the author went through on the itch page and listed the fonts that paired well enough with the templates to use in their previews/thumbnails. This sort of thing seems VERY useful to someone who is just getting started.
Thank you so much, that was the goal in building these! I set up the framework here so that if anyone wants to drop text in and go, they can, but there’s so much room for modification and tweaking for anyone who wants to dive in.
