General question about PM

[Rezac]

I run an online business by myself and I want to be able to bring finished pieces of promotional material that are print ready.

Do most print shops use Pagemaker for stuff like brochures and one sheeters?

I want to save money on set ups.

Thanks

The simple answer is to speak your print shop and see what they prefer. Some larger print shops indicate their preferred spec on line, and then charge to correct any differences between their stand and what you supply.

Use Google with key words like pre-press to get the idea. Here's the first one I found:

My usual printer accepts PDFs which is independent of the original design application.
