I really could use advice from someone with experience. I am doing layout for a book using Times New Roman 11 on 13 justified with colums of 3.2813 inches. How much kearning/letter spacing is good practice? I want to have a nice tight line but not something that is not going to print properly. My justification is set to 95%-110% Mostly I use paragraph composer. Also have set hypenation to 5/2/2/2 and stay with this unless breaks are bad. This file will be sent off to an rip printer. Thanks for any advice anyone can offer. Befuddled

rule of thumb (because everyone is different),
if it looks tight compared to the paragraphs around it, then it is.
I Don't go pass + or - 20 on the kerning and 100% letter spacing.
Kepp in mind some fonts can handle letter spacing, but, I try hard not to touch it.
