Hello everyone!
First time poster who needs a bit of helpful advice regarding a personal portfolio I'm finalising to print.
I'd like to start off by stating that I have limited experience with Indesign (which I am using to prepare this) and 'presentational' printing so my question may seem a tad idiotic!
The portfolio will be A3 in format so I have used A3 standard page layout with a 5mm bleed and crop marks.
Following a test print run, the printer company I'm using mentioned that I would need oversized A3 instead of standard - as with the crop marks/bleed would mean the content on the page would be scaled smaller.
Is there a way to solve this without using oversized paper and having to have it trimmed (to keep costs down)?
Could I just remove the crop marks and keep the bleed to ensure the content on the paper prints to the edge of the standard A3 paper?
Apologies if this is a simple, straightforward query - it would help me greatly if you could give me some advice.
Many thanks.
Alex
