syllabification of words

Non-PRO English Other brochure
Dear all, I have to double-check a first print of a brochure and I am not sure if the printer's separated the words in the headlines correctly. Here's my question:How would you split up "supporting and varnishing" in the following two headlines:It's merely a matter of space!!!
Thanks a lot in advance to all of you!!!
The suitable supporting programme (suppor-ting???)
Easy-handled varnishing systems (varnis-hing ???)
