Hi, folks: With the help of several stalwart frameusers, I successfully created thumb tabs along the edge of a version of my fixit book. However, my inkjet printer won't print close enough to the edge for the tabs to "bleed." It will create the tabs with the text which can be viewed by flipping through the book sideways, but they won't show when the book is closed.
And I know that laser printers require even larger blank margins than inkjets. So, perhaps this option shouldn't be offered to the on-line customer without a warning. Or perhaps the tabs should be reformatted to represent what can be realistically printed. Pity. I have a vague recollection that, in the recent days when I was ferreting out the tab formatting problem, someone wrote about the printing difficulties of bleeding tabs, suggesting larger paper and cutting it afterwards. But I can't find that e-mail. Furthermore, this doesn't seem practical when one considers that most folks can only print on longer (14"), not wider paper. Perhaps bleeding tabs can only be handled by professional printers and therefore included only in a hard bound version, not a print at home PDF. True or false? Any suggestions? Thanks in advance. ~ Don Spencer _______________________________________________ You are currently subscribed to Framers as [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send list messages to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] or visit http://lists.frameusers.com/mailman/options/framers/archive%40mail-archive.com Send administrative questions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Visit http://www.frameusers.com/ for more resources and info.
