No. 1 · October 2026 · Twenty pages

The Print Edition

The file the printer works from. A3, folded to A4, ten sheets printed both sides.

Page one of The Elegance Times, No. 1, October 2026

Page one. The full issue runs to twenty pages — scorecard, the Regional Office, who does what, the month, all six Power Teams, sport, the Connect check, the strip, classifieds, puzzles and the visitors' page.

Print it, or read it on screen

The print file is laid out in printer's pairs, so page one sits beside page twenty on the same sheet. That is how it is meant to look — it folds into the right order.

The press file is A3 landscape, five sheets printed both sides, about 28 MB, imposed from the final pages and ready for the printer. The A4 copy is the same twenty pages, one to a page, about 8 MB, with every ad a tap away — the one to keep on your phone or print at home.

ColourFull colour throughout. The paper is white stock, not cream — do not warm it up

QuantityOne per member, plus enough for the Thursday visitor table

Printing it yourself

  1. Open the PDF and choose A3 paper, landscape.
  2. Set double-sided, flipping on the short edge. Long edge gives you every second page upside down.
  3. Actual size, not Fit to page — Fit shrinks the margins and the fold stops lining up.
  4. Fold each sheet down the middle and nest them in order. Staple twice on the fold.
