When I did a magazine with bleed I just did what the printer told me: 3 mm bleed on all sides. When they sent proofs of the imposed magazine their impositioning software had taken care of removing the "inside" bleed. A PDF contains several "boxes" indicating bleed, trim etc and if those boxes are correctly set then everything will usually work as expected. And as far as I know Scribus sets them correctly. http://www.prepressure.com/pdf/basics/page_boxes /Peter
