How to properly create files
If you wish to print saddle stitched notebooks, you need to create one file, by starting from the template that you can download on the product pages. As for the interior, you can either keep your sheets blank or print lines and squares by selecting the template in the settings, and then add logos and whatnot. Let’s see how.
1. Graphic file
The total number of pages of the file for the whole magazine will have to be a multiple of 4 so as to make binding possible.
The multipage templates generated by our website are visualised in InDesign with pages which are not placed side by side. If you need to work with pages placed side by side, you can go on FILE > DOCUMENT SETUP and activate the voice "Facing Pages"
Pay attention to the width of the strokes
Pay attention to the width of any lines or squares in your notebook! Let’s have a look at the minimum values guaranteed in order to print the files properly:- For continuous lines, the minimum width of the stroke shall be 0.5pt 20% black
- For dotted lines, the minimum shall be 1pt 30% black
- For dashed lines 0.5pt 50% black
Checklist
Always remember that your file has to comply with the following features that apply to every file:
- 1:1 scale and 5mm bleed for each side
- CMYK colour model
- High-quality PDF
- Images resolution: 300ppi
- Always check the internal security margins.
