Trapping<br />
• For best results, trapping should be applied by the printer and not in the<br />
application. Trapping settings made in the application are not included in<br />
the PostScript when printing with the Composite mode.<br />
• Avoid instances where trapping to gradients or images is required (the<br />
change in color may not reproduce well).<br />
Bleeds<br />
• It is recommended that you do not design sheets to be printed to the<br />
edge. The press is designated to maintain a small blank band around<br />
the edge of the sheet. This prevents excess dry ink from contaminating<br />
later sheets.<br />
• For full bleeds, use a larger paper and trim to the finish size.<br />
• Include a 0.125 in. (approximately 3 mm) bleed for all areas that extend<br />
off the page when trimming is required.<br />
Imposition<br />
• Basic imposition can usually be performed by the RIP of the <strong>iGen</strong>3 ® .<br />
Your print provider can work with you on setting up for multi-up jobs.<br />
• If you plan to use binding, leave ample room for the gutter.<br />
