    14:30 How exactly is this suppose to work if it's getting rid of the inner bleed?

      Hey there! 👋 I can assure you the bleed isn't being removed from the inner pages. InDesign includes your defined bleed to all four sides of your artwork when you export your document as "pages". In the example show in the video the inner pages are set to A5 (148mm x 210mm). When the document is exported with your "Marks and Bleed" settings set to "Use Document Bleed Settings", the inner pages will export at 154mm x 216mm, which includes the 3mm of bleed to all four sides. Give it a try for yourself and check out the size of the inner pages on your exported file! 😄

      @@route-1-print Okay, thank you. I'm still confused how this works with arranging images on each page though. Because you'd need to position it properly to make sure it's full bleed, but when it's displayed as a spread like this, one overlaps the other, running on to the other page. And that shows in the export as well.

    An hour ago With all the £££ multi million pound… With all the £££ multi million pound equipment that they have, you would think that they would spend the time to make sure that the transient employees that use it would be trained in nothing but the best work produced. However, I am consistently presented with work that is shoddy. Work that is not cut square, especially perfect bound books that don't have crisp sharp spines, all the spines are poor, it just needs the nippers on the perfect binder adjusting but no one seems to care. Perfect bound jobs that are not inspected when they have been run through the three knife trimmer that have poorly trimmed edges, because the cutting sticks never get changed. Folding jobs and saddled stitched booklets that have bad folds that are cracked and not creased before folding. Unbelievable that anyone could think that this work was acceptable to send out, yet alone a trade printer that expects printers to use them to white label direct to their customers. Lesson learned here NEVER ship direct to your customer, they will bite you in the bottom, customer will think you are rubbish and order elsewhere like Instant Print, so it's a win win for Route1, they print a poor job, send it to your customer on your behalf you get all the bad rap for it, you lose the customer, customer shops online and buys from InstantPrint because they are cheaper than you and you lose and they win, until that customer realises that the quality from InstantPrint really isn't that great after all! As for packing, boxes are generally too big for the product inside and single wall packaging and huge outer packaging is a complete waste of time, they might as well wrap the jobs like a bag of chips and stick a label on it. Example : 500 x A4 Landscape Booklets : Value £430.00 First delivered late, (here's your £10 voucher, so shut up we gave you a discount! attitude!) then the quality was shocking, every spine not creased before running through the £125K Horizon Stitchliner, no one cares, if you want to see the standard send me a reply I will send you pictures and you will understand, "just get it in a box and get it shipped, we need to get 10 orders an hour out regardless if the work is rubbish, we'll worry about it if they complain", attitude. So the cycle starts, you complain, they offer compensation, a reprint, deliver the reprint late, pack it poorly, boxes are squashed, all very apologetic, never happened like this before, it's a one off, can't possible be our staff that never checked your job before it was despatched, (no they were asleep when they printed it at 4 am in the morning and didn't care other than going home to bed). So lesson learned again, a company with a £35 million turnover will only have that TURNOVER for a while because they won't make any PROFIT because they will have to keep reprinting terrible work that has no heart or soul in the production and the huge choice of trade printers will scoop up the best jobs, take care on production and leave them to make £1 an order on the commodity stuff. Here's our list of trade printers we use and never had any issues, so remember PRICE IS NOT THE ANSWER, satisfied customers that you can deliver to white label as if you are the supplier that keep coming back to you is the answer, you never get another chance when a poor trade printer delivers a rubbish job into your customer direct. You are the culprit! Where The Trade Buys : Delivery spot on, packaging spot on Marquet Space : Stunning print quality, always beat their deadlines Pixart : Huge product range, pricing is great, delivery always a little longer but print quality awesome Trade Print : First class printing, owned by Pixart but in UK, very friendly customer services that understand print There's loads more out but here's my recommendation, when you have someone that does you a great job and you are proud of that job as if you were going to pay for it yourself then stick to them, choose a trade printer that doesn't care and it shows you don't care either and you will lose your customers.
