I've tried to talk my boss into spending the money, but not winning the fight.

I feel your pain, Tracy .....

For what it's worth ...  I use the press control strips and have since day one.  Fully customizable, and have them built into my SSTs.  Using solids, 50% patches, etc on mine.   :laugh:

I think my 'use overprint' is unchecked.  I thought 'using expert user mode' ( I wonder who that was named for ) made all the trapping/knockouts as they should be....

Probably need to find time to experiment. I've had to change these settings from time to time when a designer provides art that has knockouts beneath black type and art - which happens more often than you would think....

You could always allow it to creep in slightly to cover up that line.  Doesn't look like it would take much ...

You're better off to split the different sheet sizes into two jobs...

Yeah, if there's a way around that, I'm not sure what it would be.  You could save the job temporarily as an SST, then start over with the new press config.

If the job specs for the new job are already being used by another job in the queue, that would work - just rename the new job and continue.  But I think the new job will end up in the list directly above the job you copied in the queue.  Probably not a big deal.  If it's one you use a lot, be sure to save as a Stripping Sheet Template for retrieval later.  Don't know if this answered your question or not.   :tongue:

No creep required on perfect bound projects, they should stack in position when collated.

How heavy is the cover stock ??  Sounds like a FUN folding project if you intend on folding down from 16 Pages...

You might require slight gutters for the grind on the perfect binder, though...

I wouldn't think you would require creep on a perfect bound book. Don't you just stack the folded sigs when collating ??   :wink:

You may have to zoom in before measuring to get an accurate read ...

In my world there's always some need for math...since we are a general commercial shop, just receiving correct art is always the challenge.

Or, better yet, a bunch of Roman numeral pages in the beginning of a book.   Might as well be hieroglyphics to most rednecks here in Redneck Nation ... true story.

Or those that start page 1 on the left, so that all the odd pages end up on the left, and evens on the right ....
