Ridderprint Manual

Cover 65 Cover in Photoshop As you cannot specify the bleed in Photoshop as in Indesign or Illustrator, the document size must be created including the 3 mm bleed all around. Create a document with a total size of your book size x2 (back and front) + spine and add 6 mm in width and height. See settings below. Bear in mind that this 3 mm all around will be cut-off again after printing. Therefore, do not place important text or logos too close to the page edge. Stay away 10 mm from your page edge (safe zone). Use a minimum resolution of 300 DPI and a maximum of 600 DPI. Save the file as a PDF file and make sure to preserve all ‘layers’. This allows the text to retain its vector properties (and thus better quality). See settings below and more information on page 92. Cover setup 17 x 24 cm with spine of 11 mm including bleed Cover_spine11mm Cover_spine11mm
