I've had difficulty printing scanned pdf manuals for many retro games, and recently worked it out. YOU WILL NEED ADOBE INDESIGN!

You need enable double sided printing, and make sure the pages are in order. Otherwise you would of wasted loads of paper.

Great video. What printer paper do you use? Trying to use whichever one is most convincingly similar to an actual game manual. When it comes to game manuals I'd probably have to say I'm most interested in PS2, PS1, Gamecube and Sega Saturn game manuals right now. Any suggestions?

Its been many years since i have printed manuals, i dont remember what paper i used. Best thing tondo is got to a printer place (officeworks) and take a manual with you. Feel the paper and choose the one that is most accyrate

I pulled out a manual from an original Nintendo DS game to get an idea of the paper. Looks like he’s got two different types of papers. 1st photo paper, that has a soft cardboard appearance glossy effect that finds it on the cover. 2nd photo paper, fine matte effect. Can you advise me which paper models I should use to approach a Nintendo DS manual.

LuvTheSnapper I'm not sure. I would take a Manuel into an office works, or other stationary shop and compare it to the paper they have available. Some printer shops have samples you can compare with. Just print on a Lazer printer and not ink jet, because the ink tends to smudge otherwise

Negatron1001 I'd use some gloss paper, not 80gsm but maybe the next one up. You will need a Lazer printer for the best finish on gloss. Just go to a printer shop or a library and insert your own paper.

So for PS2 and PS3 manuals, it would have to be A5? Also how much length and width are PS2 and PS3 manuals? Also is google docs a good alternative for chromebooks that can't use indesign? Becuase I'm having difficulty knowing if the multiple sides thing will work on printed paper. Please answer ASAP.

@vinegreen3242 4 жыл бұрын
Not sure about google docs, but best way would be to make a 3 sheet book withtthe page numbers on them to see if it prints properly. As for the paper size, you can check by opening a manual atthe centre and measuring the paper width and height.

@@revenge9599 you could maybe go to a local library to print these. Its probably because of the format that the manual is in. Pdf format might not be good in google docs. Unfortunately when it comes to things like this you just need the right tools for the job, there may not be a way around it. You should be able to get a pdf viewer on your chromebook. And maybe follow another tutorial on how to get indesign without breaking the bank "if you know what i mean"
