Reply To: Recto/Verso page misalignment on printing

Indeed strange, but yet again, difficult to say if your printer takes all the pages exactly the same way? Printing the page twice gives the same difference? You can try this, make a two page doc, make sure all the margins are identical (2 cm all around seems to be good). Make a rectangle which is identical to the magins created and has no fill and a 1 pt stroke and put that on the 2 pages.

Print it once with crop marks (bleed marks are not needed if no bleed is specified) and once without. If this print is good (no difference or less then the original file with the illustrations), then you'll have to check the original file again.

On the press, the printer always makes sure the crop and bleed marks fall on top of each other, otherwise the paper cannot be cut.

If possible, ask the printer if he can run a proof of those two illustrated pages, but printed recto-verso.
