Advanced InDesign Induction

*Facing pages - Margin can be increased or decreased depending on how much of the page wil be used for binding technique e.g. stab stitch or kettle stitch.

Bleed (3mm) - allow for space for accurate trimming after binding.

*Print on paper slightly larger than the actual page sizes for bleed and margin.
*Print Booklet

Printing for saddle stitch

*Print Booklet Option -> [Booklet Type] - 2-up Saddle Stitch
*[Print Blank Pages] - will ignore all blank pages of book
*[Setup] -> Scale = 100% 
*Scale to fit - has implications to type as it changes the type size.
*Page Position - Centred (spread will be centred so content will be accurately printed especially for DPS's.
*Two Sided (for saddle stitch) - Short-Edge Binding

Printing for Section Binding

*[Pages] -> Range -> Print in section e.g. 1-16 
*Printing one page -> Range -> Print separately e.g. 5-6, 11-12

*Margins may need to be bigger for room for binding
*Similar for Stab Stitch Binding
