Re: Printing to paper edge for a "bleed tab"

[Mike Kellstrand]

Mark,

 

Well that is good news.

Is there anything I need to do, other than setting the page margins to zero?

 

Are you saying that a given document will print right up to the edge on one printer, but have 1/2 margin all around on another?

 

Interesting.  That does make sense ....

 

Thanks for the help,

 

Mike

Hi Mike,

 

This doesn't sound like a FOP problem, but a printer problem.  We manage to get objects at the extremes of the pages in region-before etc, but whether they print depends on the printer capabilities.

 

Cheers,

Subject: Printing to paper edge for a "bleed tab"

Is it possible in FO / FOP to print right up to the edge of the paper in the start and end regions?

 

Using FOP I have not been able to get closer than about a 1/2 inch to the edge.

 

I need to be able to print a "bleed tab", which is a colored rectangular area on the page edge that lets you see chapter divisions while looking at the edge of a book.

 

Is this possible in FOP, and if not does anyone know of any FO product that can do it?

 

Thanks,

 

Mike Kellstrand
