InDesign Tips & Tricks
This will allow me to specify how I want my pages printed in relation to how I will eventually bind them together. As I am using a multi section perfect bind, I would select '2-up Perfect Bound'.
> Print Settings > Print Blank Pages
As I have 5 blank pages, located at the start of each chapter, I will need to check the 'print blank pages box' is ticked so that I keep my pages in the right order.
Remember to Landscape orientate and centre the book onto the page so that the front and back of each is aligned properly.
> Marks > Bleed > Crop Marks (tick) & Bleed Marks (tick)
I am printing 80 pages in total which will print onto 20 A3 pages double sided.
- Multi Section bind helps to prevent creep.
> Setup > Click range > then specify number of pages in section.
> Colour swatches > create new > choose suitable swatches
- Always check photoshop files / images for resolution, size etc

> Edit image... in photoshop > change to percentage etc.
> window > output > separations preview > select separations
- Allows you to see where each colour can be found and where they'll be printed
