Creating Booklets with Full Bleed on the EX and EX-P Print Servers
Important:
This procedure requires you to have an Inserter, a Production Ready (PR) Booklet
Maker Finisher, a Two-Sided Trimmer, and a SquareFold Trimmer.
The booklet maker creates saddle-stitched booklets, and the two trimmers cut the edges from three
sides of the booklet so that the image prints to the edge of the page. Additionally, you can use the
Inserter to include pre-printed cover pages. This full bleed can produce an appealing look for some
documents. The setup for this type of workflow is as follows:
• Loading the paper and programming it from the print server
• Submitting the job and opening Job Properties
• Setting properties for the media, layout, folding, and trimming.
• Making settings to insert pre-printed covers
• Releasing the job for a proof copy
• Checking the output and making any adjustments to the trim settings or imposition
• Printing the job
Note:
It is useful to print the file first with no trim to see how much trim is needed to achieve
the full bleed of page images.
To produce booklets with three-sided trimming for a full bleed, perform the following steps:
1. Load the paper into a press tray.
If you want the finished size to be 8.5 x 11 in. (A4), load 12 x 18 in. (A3) paper and impose two
8.5 x 11 in. images onto each side of the sheets. This provides an edge around the images for
trimming. If you load 11 x 17 in. paper, you can still impose two 8.5 x 11 in. images onto each
side of the sheets, but after the edges are trimmed the resulting size will be less than 8.5 x 11 in.
The Stock Wizard opens on the print server.
