Solid colour bleed for one page of a spread only

[PhilWin]

Morning everyone, first time user of Tek-Tips here so apologies if I have not noticed the solution to my query in FAQs.

CS3... Double page spread...solid colour on one page only which then needs to be pdf'd and sent to print so that the print company can trim to finished size without risk of 1. page with solid colour gaining a thin sliver of paper colour on inside edge and 2. other page gaining unwanted colour bleed on its inside edge from the opposite page.

Hope this makes sense and many thanks in advance for looking

Put the item right into the spine, don't have it going over the page at all.

Many thanks for your reply. Your solution is something that we usually do, but then it does seem to be a rather crude answer which could still lead to slivers of paper colour coming through at the trimming stage (a lot of our print is done in house and then trimmed with a guillotine). The Adobe site suggests allowing pages to shuffle and then moving individual pages on the page icon menu to a new position. They also suggest creating page set ups that incorporate bleed into the paper width and then manually inserting crop marks for the inside page. Neither of these seem like a really simple direct solution and it would appear that it is just one of those things that the makers of page layout software have trouble getting around...unless anyone else knows differently!

Usually there's about 5 mm on the cover at the spine where it's glued, so usually the paper on the inside goes about 2-5mm into the spine, so there really is little danger of a sliver showing in the spine, if you have the colour right into the spine.

As for the rest of it, you just have to make sure the bleeds are on the correct edges.

Thanks again Eugene. What I did not tell you was that the vast majority of our documentation is wirobound! This really is quite tricky for us!

I'm afraid the only answer I have for you is to make it single pages, but make two master pages, one a duplicate of the main master page and then just move the folio to the right. You will have to alternate the pages throught the document.

It's quite frustrating, because Quark can split the pages of a spread so there is nothing facing them, but it still treats it as a facing pages book and the folios maintain in throughout the book from the one master page.

Arhg, got the answer, sorry, it was so simple and I should have realised, but alas didn't
