Creep on a perfect bound book?

[Farabomb]

That's exactly what I was thinking. Is it being printed on chipboard?

[Tracy]

you think i'm trippin? :laugh:

the whole book is on cover stock, and they have something close to the edge on each page
the sigs will be folded down as 16s

[Farabomb]

Beat that designer with a stick.

[Tracy]

ok I think I am trippin even with the 80lb cover it might be ok

yeah this book has a perf on each pg, a back pg that's shorter with a flap and perf and a die cut thingy it goes into.
uv and numbering too. :rolleyes:

I'm not following how they are going to fold a 32 down as a 16?

Double web?  :grin:

[Joe]

Yeah we do that all of the time on the web press. I assume, maybe incorrectly, that they are sheetfed.

[Ear]

To the original question, Tracy, yes, it is possible to be selective with creep. I would set the thickness in the "Default Creep", then you can choose which sheets you want to have Default Creep applied to.

I'm going to lunch but I can post screenshots in a little while if you need me to elaborate.

[Tracy]

yes please do!!
I will have a 32 pg sig that cuts to 16s and then folds
so I need the creep on the 16s,

they have art that is 1/32 close to the edge-maroons -sigh :rolleyes:

[Diddler]

Tracey, Are you doing the impo in pagination mode or just as a regular template mode. I'm in the office in 30 mins and can help you also if needed. Don't panic it's not hard.

[Tracy]

never did pagination mode :undecided:

[impodave]

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

[Diddler]

If not using pagination mode then the easiest way would be to just select the page required (far left circle) then look at the job page (top right circle) properties and select over ride creep for the page. hope this helps.

[impodave]

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