Print Workshop 3

- The design of the book digitally needs to be informed by the binding method that is going to be used when printed. This is due to the margin size that is needed to ensure that no content is lost from the page when binding. 

- The binding method can also be selected when specifying the printing options so that the pages are printed correctly. This can be useful when using more intricate binding methods such as perfect binding and Japanese stitch. 

- If printing A5 page booklet with a 3mm bleed, A3 paper is needed so that the print is successful with full bleed images. If there is no bleed then the book will be able to be printed on A4 paper. 

- Photographs must be at 300ppi to ensure a high quality print 

- Check resolution of photographs > check scale size > in photoshop, open photograph and adjust image size to suit the scale percentage of the photograph in the inDesign file > save
