XMF Install & Training

Blind folios outside the trim area are nice in case you have a pack of characters in bindery who don't pay attention to less-than- obvious page numbers when folding ... I usually make mine .25 inch tall in something easy to notice, like Helvetica, at the top of the pages.  I leave them on my SSTs if there is adequate space.  Helps make folding and finishing "idiot-proof".

Yep, and i Like that you can put them almost anywhere, using those dropdowns. Just a matter of trial and see until you've corralled them. We mostly run jobs with no print-inside folios... glossy entertainment stuff. So Blind Folios are a must-have for us.
Plus there's the habit sometimes of customers numbering inside the job with Page 1 starting at Page 3,.. or 5... or....

[impodave]

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 ....

[impodave]

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.

I love it!!
It will be good for a gang run of business cards too!

[Tracy]

You guys using regular creep or face only? or both?

[Diddler]

You guys using regular creep or face only? or both?

I usually stick with face only.  I haven't ever had a problem with doing it that way.

[frailer]

...ditto here.

[Tracy]

Thanks guys, tech on phone said opposite but I kinda thought that wasn't right.

new question, I often have layouts where i have to have even gutters and the sheet edge needs to match the gutter.

The sheet is cut in half and sent to a die cutter
is there a way to do this without math?

[impodave]

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.

[Tracy]

Mine too, just thought XMF would be magical :laugh:
Thanks Dave!

[Tracy]

let me know if I get annoying.

another question, I can't seem to find a way to measure an exact measurement
from the edge of the sheet to a mark, the measure tool seems to be approximate

Like in preps you could select the gutter and it would tell you the exact size

Thanks!

[impodave]

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

let me know if I get annoying.

I think you would probably win the least annoying award around here. :laugh:
