Set Gutters

You can set gutters for gangup jobs. Gutters are extra margins that allow space for binding or other finishing options.

Fiery Impose defines the locations of gutters for you according to the layout and sheet size governing the imposition of the job. For example, perfect-bound jobs typically require larger gutters than saddle-stitched jobs to provide room for grinding off the spines and gluing signatures together when the book is bound.

  1. Click Define for the Gutter option.
  2. In the Gutter window, set the gutter measurement by typing in the available text fields for each gutter in your layout.
  3. (Optional) Click Apply All to apply the same measurement to all gutters.
  4. (Optional) Select the "Scale to fit" uses gutter settings check box to control the placement of the page content.. If you selected Scale to fit before setting gutters in the Gutter dialog box, use the "Scale to fit" uses gutter settings check box to control the placement of the page content.

    The "Scale to fit" uses gutter settings check box is available when you select Scale to fit for the Scale option in the Fiery Impose Settings pane before opening the Gutter window.

    • Not selecting the check box (default setting) - Scale to fit does not include the gutter size in the calculation. Changing the gutter size does not scale the page content, and instead shifts the content. 
    • Selecting the check box - Scale to fit includes the gutter size in the calculation. Changing the gutter size scales the page content to fit within the area defined by the rows and columns and gutter settings.
