1. Check your content first ? Before printing begins, it is a good idea to check your content first. Many people actually ignore this step and find out the hard way that all their color menus have one big error. So it is good practice to always check your content first before going with menu printing. Check your offerings or items if they are accurate. Check the prices, descriptions and even your headers and sub headers. Check for spelling and grammar errors as well as errors in images and logos. Do this three times so that you are sure that no error gets passed on to printing.
2. Check your layout ? Afterwards, you will need to check your layout. Make sure that everything is aligned properly, and the dimensions used for your color menus are accurate. Make sure you have printing bleeds in your menu dimensions as well as that there is some leeway for cutting and folding the menus. Of course, also see if the images and text are balanced throughout the color menu so that no menu page is boring or cluttered.
