The first was done with Scribus 1.3.3.14 and the latest, the February 2011, issue was done with 1.3.9/1.4.0. I updated half way through the production of the second issue. My covers are full page color images outside and inside. I used the bleed script with 1.3.3.14 for the first and the Pre-Press pdf export dialog options for the last issue. The results worked out fine. Because the magazine is relatively thin, we use staple stitch binding. Therefore, I use bleeds on only the outside edges and none on the binding edges of the four pages I layout for the cover. I'm told some digital printers do not require bleeds but since we are using an offset method of printing, bleeds are necessary. -- John Ghormley KJ4UFG Editor, SERA *Repeater Journal* Walkertown, NC editor at sera.org -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
