Book Gutter Indesign

Are you laying out reader spreads e g.

Book gutter indesign. Gutter margin margins are the blank spaces around the type area on a book page but the inside margin has the special name gutter and it is always the margin on the bound edge of the book page. Some people use gutter to describe the space between 2 columns other use it to describe the space between two pages. I just caught your question and i have a couple more. Pgs 2 3 4 5 6 7 etc in a single two column page.

A good initial approach is to have left and right outer margins equal and have a sum of inner margins when viewed in an opened book so account for gutter equal in width to an outer margin. This process will cause a curve of the pages coming from the spine when the book is open. For book interiors intended to be printed only in black all graphics should be grayscale. If so i d very strongly recommend that you double check your page requirements for ingramspark closely because i believe you re built to lose and lose big if you submit this.

A gutter is the section of the page that leads into the binding of perfect bound books and hard cover books. Adobe indesign s text frames can flow text from one column to another within a multi column frame. Assuming i guessed correctly are you trying to define the gutter width or gutter position. Is your indesign page size really set for 11 25 x 8 75 landscape.

Indesign uses the first definition in margins and columns so i m going to guess that is what your question is about.
