Fold marks
Hi everyone,
I've got a roll fold brochure that I'm about to send off to the printer, but I'm a bit worried about whether I've got the fold marks located correctly. The brochure has 4 panels each on the front and back, and the finished folded size is 105mm in width by 215mm in height. I've made the front and back panels (the first two panels) both 105mm in width, and then the third and fourth panels 102.5mm and 101mm respectively (which are the panels which will roll inward), and then obviously reversed the positions on the back.
I even get confused which width to make the panels on a common 3-panel DL brochure so I'm really worried about whether I've got the fold marks placed correctly on this current job. Is it true that you have to consult your printer to find out where to place these fold marks so that they will be compatible with the folding machine, or does the printer just go by what you've placed it the file?
Would really appreciate any advice offered.
