Print 4600 copies (2300 sheets) (was 6000 copies originally)
Ingredients:
Computer with Indesign, preferably Acrobat, & Photoshop as well (usually not necessary though)
Directions:
Open up \\btp.local\Shared\Production\Periodicals\BiS\Imposition\2Up BiS 11x17.indd
Relink the pages to the current issue that is being printed
(check the job queue / production manager / Job Ticket for correct month and quantity
Note: the two BiS instances sheet should be kept head to head to avoid areas of heavy black toner near the edge of the sheet. (4.16.2021—I don’t think this applies to our current printers, but since it’s set up, and works fine, I haven’t changed it)
Export as pdf to the production folders here: X:\Production\Periodicals\BiS\\\
Follow naming convention. Like: BS2021-08-August-Final-2UP.pdf
Open the new final pdfs and print them on 11x17 on 20lb bond (or other paper needing to be used up).
Produce a proof first of all four, then print once approved.
I often just use the book printer settings (for the printer you’re going to use), and turn off the front and back cover.
