We have several books to assist those with a desire to become professional at publishing. Whether it is a book, a brochure or a page of stickers, we have options that help business help themselves. 

We offer several interactive study plans ranging from #100 to #221. In #100 we answer 100 questions on whether or not you want to become a professional publisher. Then on up to 221 where we dig into the software and specifics of making a book in today's world. 

Print Sets and Pattern Sets are designed for individuals who have media they need to publish. They are like cook books for publishing in that they give information which directs the cook to make something specific. It is important to point out that the Print Sets do not teach the program of software indicated in the pattern or Print Set, but show how to utilize the software to bring about a specific product. It is comparable to cooking lessons in that one who whips up a recipe doesn’t need to know everything about the food, the oven or the kitchen: He just needs to know how to come up with what he needs within the structure he is given using the ingredients supplied. With the Print Sets, you supply what needs to be printed and I tell you how to ‘cook’ it using specific software which it is created in.  The Print Sets are written in a format familiar to web page developers. It takes the reader from screen to screen using indentations for clarification if structure. 

Lasertrain Pattern Sets

The Sets are Free Download from this website. They are given in older versions of software, so if you are working in an older version, you will be able to use it! Also, because many of them are quite large files, many of the photos have been omitted or downsized to accommodate the uploading and downloading via the Internet. 

The Pattern Sets (just like dress patterns) give basic instructions on best paper options, cutting and compilation of the file to make it what was used in Glorybound Publishing. All of the Patterns are as a result of what was used within our company, therefore it is possible to purchase a like item and ‘copy’ the design while using the Print and Pattern Set to obtain a similar result. 

We have uploaded several videos which walk through specific areas related to digital publishing. The direct links are given on the Training Video Page. They are basic, but helpful. 

Need a Specific Template? Glorybound Lasertrain will make a custom template. It will be designed to be used with your printer and whatever software is optioned for that item. Use the contact page and drop us a line. We will be happy to meet with you to discuss your personal needs. We set up the pattern so you can utilize it specifically in your business to achieve your purposes and make changes as desired. We Help Business Help Themselves.
