Double Imaging DPS Artwork
Due to the print and binding process, any images that are across the gutter (middle) of a double page spread are "pulled" into the spine.
This may result in a loss of image and cause images to misalign. To compensate for this, Double Imaging is required on all DPS artwork if an image/text is running through the gutter of a spread.
The clearance space should be a minimum of 6mm (3mm of double image incorporated into the overall image of each page) - a 3mm band of the image on the inside margin of the left page (closest to the gutter) is repeated on the inside section o+A1f the right page, and vice versa.
The spread will carry a 6mm double image in the spine, as shown in the diagram.
