On a new document wont let you put fractions or decimal entry, all it lets you do is for example: 21p0, i am running CS4 version of indesign. Any ideas? Thanks
Just for anyone else that stumbles across this with the same question. You would want to add a 1/8″ bleed so the print size would be 8. 75×11. 25 and we would cut it down to 8. 5×11. As for the sheet size we use parent size sheets (28″x40″) on the offset press.
i have a project that the guy wants a 8″ bleed on the project is 6×4. . . does that mean there will be a 2″ bleed on all four side. . . what should my margins be? bcuz they want the pic to be cut out at 6″x4″ and some text extend to the end. . . HELP
If you are cutting it yourself then print on 11×17. The trim it to your desired size. . . . . . . . . is it a one off project? If not, then ask the print shop for their opinion.
I have a question. If I have graphics that intended to touch the edge of an 8-1/2 x 11 final page, then what size paper should I print on in order to cut properly and have image border page correctly? thanks!
Its purpose is basically for the printer to have enough room or space when printing and this will be finally cut off and most importantly for ur text not to override the printing margin. I hope this helps.
