You can also set up a Grid if you prefer. Note the number in the fields in the top left hand side of the Control panel. Create non-printing guides by clicking and dragging with the Selection tool from the white space of the rulers across the page. The Bleed guide is the red border, the paper edge is the black border, and the margin (for text) is the purple border. Click on the chain icon to make all fields the same> Slug: 0 > OK. Bleed size varies according to the machines your printing company is using 2 – 3mm is common. Most of the 2mm bleed will be trimmed off. But the high-speed trimmers are not 100% accurate, so you need to provide a 2mm margin of error. The reason for this is that a DL flier like this example will be tiled and printed on larger sheets (“24-up”), then cut to the DL size. More Options: Bleed: If your publication has images or colour bars that you want to print to the edge of the paper, you need to set up a Bleed guide to which you’d scale the images/colour bars. Page Size: 99 x 210mm > Margins: For a DL flier make them 7mm for Top, Inside and Outside. Setup: File > New > Document > Facing Pages and Master Text Frame: leave at default > Number of Pages: 1. In this example we’ll create a DL size flyer, which is basically a third of a landscape A4 sheet. This is one of the many topics we cover in our Indesign courses. The process of creating Indesign templates is basically the same each time: the initial page setup, adding text and images, and saving as an indt template file.
