Reply To: Perfect binding – pictures across the spine

Hi David.
It’s not just splitting the pictures at the spine. It’s the moving of the pictures inside the frames. The picture on the left hand page moves 3mm to the left inside the frame and the picture on the right, 3mm to the right. This leaves you with a double image at the spine. Once the spine is ground off, the picture should then look correct if the magazine is laid flat on a table.
As the magazine is perfect bound, I don’t think creep is as much of a problem compared to a saddle stitched publication. I think the sections are 16 pages.
I hope this makes sense.
