With digital printing, your project can be folded, finished, trimmed and bound in hours. An array of options for the finished piece means designers should articulate their vision, and printers should detail what is possible.

A piece that has followed some basic design principles is less likely to prove problematic when it is time for folding and finishing, trimming and binding. Discuss sequencing with the designer and the amount of gutter space needed for the chosen binding.

“Although the press automatically sequences the document, I still prefer to have a mock-up from the designer. We can also discuss at that time if coating is needed.”

Tip: Ask the designer for a mock-up of the layout to avoid any misunderstandings. Consider coating any high-use pages (e.g., covers) that may be prone to cracking.
