With FOREVER®, you can choose between two-page styles for your photo book:
- Standard Pages: Bound like a traditional book, PUR glued at the seams with a natural downward curve at the center.
- Standard Layflat Pages: PUR glued so pages lay completely flat, creating a virtually seamless spread with a slight black hinge in the middle.
Important: Layflat pages must be selected at checkout, but designing for them starts in Artisan®.
Switching Between Layout Views in Artisan®
- Click View in the main menu.
- Select Spreads > Two Bound Pages.
- Click Options and switch between Standard Layflat and Standard view.
Design Considerations
- Standard Layflat Pages: Design can span both pages, but a ¼” overlap in the center accounts for binding. This portion will be lost, so keep important elements away from the center.
-
- There is still a standard production shift on these pages, so images or words going over the gutter are still subject to being slightly off or not perfectly aligned.
-
- Standard Pages: A shaded black bar in the middle represents the fold. Content in this area may be difficult to see or read, so adjust placement accordingly.
By previewing your layout in Artisan®, you can ensure your book is designed perfectly for the binding style you choose!
