Help with laying out your book contents:
Our preferred format for receiving artwork files is in PDF format, but we can also work from other programs including Microsoft Word and In-Design. If you have any questions about your artwork please feel free to email or call us on 01733 371825. If you need advice on setting up your document in Word the following information will be of help.
Book Insides:
Our 2 most cost effective book sizes are 202mm x 143mm (slightly smaller than A5) and 292mm x 205mm (slightly smaller than A4). These are the simple settings for setting your book out with the correct sized margins, although you can use your own if you prefer...
A5 Books:
We print all of our books digitally, so our A5 sized books are actually a couple of millimetres smaller than A5. We do this because it works out much more cost effective and we pass this saving on to our customers. For the measurements and margins you will need to open Word and follow these steps:
Click FILE
Click PAGE SET UP
Click PAPER tab
Set paper to A5 (148w x 210h)
Click MARGIN tab
Set TOP, BOTTOM, LEFT and RIGHT margin at 2cm
Leave GUTTER at zero and GUTTER POSITION at left
In the MULTIPLE PAGE section choose MIRROR MARGINS
Click LAYOUT tab
Set HEADER and FOOTER at 1.27cm
A4 Books:
As with the A5 books, our A4 books are finished slightly smaller than A4. For the measurements and margins you will need to open Word and follow these steps:
Click FILE
Click PAGE SET UP
Click PAPER tab
Set paper to A4 (210w x 297h)
Click MARGIN tab
Set TOP, BOTTOM, LEFT and RIGHT margin at 2cm
Leave GUTTER at zero and GUTTER POSITION at left
In the MULTIPLE PAGE section choose MIRROR MARGINS
Click LAYOUT tab
Set HEADER and FOOTER at 1.27cm
