The XLH Network Inc. Flyer English

US Letter Page Size A4 Page Size
PDF Inside Page PDF Inside Page

Requires Adobe Acrobat Reader

(Currently in former XLH Network form, NPO version with new logo is pending completion.)

Double Sided Printing Instructions: The pages should be aligned and printed so that the top of the inside sheet (Some Questions and Answers about XLH) is opposite to the front of the outside sheet (XLH Network Logo).

To fold the flyer:
1. Place the XLH NETWORK logo side upside down with the logo closest to you.
2. Fold the logo up and away from you and make a first fold with equal margins on either side of the text.
3. Then fold the text containing the big OMIM books in and underneath the logo page, and fold evenly. The back of the folded flyer now contains the images of the globes and all the contact information.
4. When you open the flyer up, you will see that the inside contains lots of information about XLH itself, while the outside pages contain information on the XLH NETWORK.
5. You may wish to experiment with a few folds, to establish the best professional presentation of a neat 3 way folded flyer. It's particularly important, for the best presentation of our network, that the front page, with the XLH Logo Network, looks even, flush with the edge of the flyer, and with a nice even margin all around the text.
