I'm going to show an example to the printer and see if it's right,<br>
though it doesn't seem so to me.<br>

Hey,<br>
I've been thinking about bleeds in Scribus lately and would be very<br>
interested to hear how this thing worked out?<br>

<br></blockquote><div>For what its worth, I have submitted two covers, one for each of two issues, for the quarterly magazine I produce. The first was done with Scribus 1.3.3.14 and the latest, the February 2011, issue was done with 1.3.9/<a href="http://1.4.0.">1.4.0.</a> I updated half way through the production of the second issue.<br>
<br>My covers are full page color images outside and inside. I used the bleed script with 1.3.3.14 for the first and the Pre-Press pdf export dialog options for the last issue. The results worked out fine. Because the magazine is relatively thin, we use staple stitch binding. Therefore, I use bleeds on only the outside edges and none on the binding edges of the four pages I layout for the cover.<br>
<br>I'm told some digital printers do not require bleeds but since we are using an offset method of printing, bleeds are necessary.<br></div></div>-- <br>John Ghormley KJ4UFG<br>Editor, SERA <i>Repeater Journal</i><br>
