Hi, this question was rised in my ConTeXt beginners workshop* at
Chemnitz Linux Days today:
Can I configure binding correction for saddle-stitched or
thread-bound booklets, and if, does it only work with arranging
(imposition) or can I enable it somehow for the layout (if the
printshop does the imposition)?
1. \definepageshift + \setuppageshift
2. \setuplayout[horoffset=<DIMENSION>]
Also I recognized I'm not sure about the difference of the layout
parameters backspace and cutspace.
backspace is the inner margin and cutspace the outer
Hi Wolfgang, thank you! Seems like I was too dense to understand the
description for the \setuplayout parameters in the wiki (and there are
more that I never used, oh my…), and since I never use ConTeXt’s
imposition for serious print products (and never set up a scheme
myself), I didn’t know about pageshift.
Ok, if I leave imposition to the printshop and they don't do binding
correction in their workflow, I'd need to set horoffset differently for
every single page (i.e. first, second, second-to-last and last the same;
3th, 4th and from back the same etc.). Or is pageshift applied
independently from arranging?
And then, it makes no sense to add the same value all the time. I don’t
know if BCOR works this way in LaTeX, but one value (paper thickness)
should be enough in combination with an imposition schema. I.e. if I
define a paper thickness and the number of pages that are in one booklet
(as a single booklet or part of a "proper" book), then the page shift
should work automatically.
Well, for a single booklet, it could. In a book, booklets can have
different numbers of pages, and then you'd need to define a list… Okay,
too complicated. It’s the printshops's responsibility anyway, and nobody
complained about my books so far. (I'm not perfectionist enough to care.)
