1.1

The Gaps area in the Layout pane.
• The Vertical field represents the distance between the right side of the left page
and the left side of the right page.
A Vertical gap value is required if the flat has a crossover. For Perfect Bound
publications, if you are creeping in (with a negative value), the minimum
Vertical gap value is the width of the Creep value. If you’re manually creating
signatures (for example, if there are different stocks in the same publication),
you can enter a value in the
Vertical field to specify a starting creep for flats
that belong to different signatures.
• The
Horizontal field represents the distance between the bottom of the upper
printer spread and the top of the lower printer spread.
• A Horizontal gap value is not available for 2-Up flats but is required for 4-Up
flats that bleed.
• The
Spread field, available for 8-Up flats only, represents the vertical space
between the two sets of printer spreads.

Quark Imposer lets you create new PDF files without registration marks
(if the supplied PDF file has its own registration marks) or with standard
registration marks.
1 In the Imposer dialog box, click the Preview tab.
2 Choose an option from the Registration drop-down menu.
The Registration drop-down menu in the Preview pane.
•
Choose
Off to create a PDF without registration marks.
•
Choose
Center or Off Center to create a PDF using Quark Imposer’s default
marks, which include four targets, trim marks, bleed marks, fold lines, a text
slug, a gray bar, and color bar (when printing separations).
The position of the registration marks is controlled by the value you enter in
the Bleed fi
eld in the
Layout pane.
