Lesson 4. Jewelcase booklet

In this lesson you will create the eight-page booklet titled Architectural Treasures of Italy, featuring eight color photographs of historic Italy. For best results, this booklet needs to be printed on a printing press. To print color art on a commercial printing press, your service provider will separate each page containing composite art into its component colors by creating a film separation on an imagesetter for each ink–cyan, magenta, yellow, black (CMYK), and any spot colors. A commercial printer uses these film separations to create the printing plates used on the press.

Designed to accompany a CD-ROM, this publication fits in the front cover of a CD-ROM jewelcase. It's easy to get the right dimensions, because the PageMaker application includes a page size already established for this exact purpose. Before printing this booklet on a commercial printing press, you must specify a custom paper size larger than the page size to accommodate the printer's marks (cropping marks) and page information.
