By: Kate Manheaven

Do you want your letterheads to really be memorable and impressive? Well, here are a few magic tricks in letterhead printing that should make all your letterheads really eye catching. This involves tweaking your letterhead elements, getting extra content, and using special printing options to your advantage. Just read on below and try to discover if some of these magic tricks appeal to you.

- Improving your text – There are various ways to improve the look of your text in your letterheads. Of course the simplest ways are to change the font style of the text, as well as its color and typeface. You can even download custom font styles over the Internet if you like and use them to great effect in your letterheads.
Beyond that however, you can also try using word processor features like WordArt (Microsoft Office) or FontWork (OpenOffice.org) to produce interesting text that can have shadows and three dimensional effects. Of course, try to use these features with taste and take into account the theme and true purpose of your letterheads.

- Making your logos and images stand out – To enhance your images and logos on the other hand, you can try passing those images to an image editing application first to enhance them. Tools like Adobe Photoshop and QuarkXpress can help you enhance the look of your logos and images by adjusting color values or the brightness and contrast settings. With just a little knowhow you can make your letterhead logos and images look more vibrant and sharp making them look more impressive.

- Finding good border designs – Borders of course are a good way to improve the look of your letterhead header. Some desktop publishing applications already have built in features that let you add in borders to your headers. However for a more manual and custom approach you can try finding good custom header designs over the Internet that have borders. Barring that however, you can go to the last option and make your own design with borders using image editing applications. Whatever process you choose however, adding in borders in your letterhead headers can really make your letterheads look better and more noticeable to your readers.

- Creating subtle but interesting backgrounds – You should also try to change the background of your letterheads if you want. You can drop the use of plain colors with your letterhead background and add in some texture effects like satin or sand. You may need to add a separate texture image for this trick, but if you use this along with an appropriate border, your letterhead will look great with a very unique and textured header.

- Print with special options – Finally, if you really want your letterheads to look impressive and even magical you can try investing in very high quality paper stocks and ink options. Some letterhead printing out there offer glossy paper stocks for printing letterheads. Those same printers should also have the ability to use very special metallic inks that glitter and shine with the light. These inks can add that extra sparkle to your letterheads, really making them memorable and impressive.

So what are you waiting for? Try these selected letterhead magic strategies. One of them might just be the perfect way to impress people with your letterheads and gain the advantage of respect and new opportunities. Good luck!
