PTXPrint 團隊一個月前發出的那封關於荷蘭 Pretore 的電子郵件相當有趣。我在美國找到的所有按需列印服務似乎都不具備 Pretore 在聖經列印方面的專業性。因此，我寫了一封詢問信給 Pretore，最近收到了他們的回覆。他們發送了一份技術文件，描述了為了讓其設備正常運作，他們對我們的要求。其中關鍵部分如下：
PDF 由多個具有頁面尺寸的頁面框（page boxes）組成。確保
特定頁面框具有正確的大小非常重要。
Media box（媒體框）：是 PDF 中存在的最大框。其他框不能比它更大，且必須
完全包含在媒體框內。
CropBox（裁切框）：無用，建議不要使用，或將其大小設為與 MediaBox 相同。
TrimBox（修邊框）： 指示最終尺寸。此框很重要，因為頁面是根據此尺寸
在列印影像中定位的。
BleedBox（出血框）： 在出血列印中，出血框在修邊框
四周各大 3 毫米。
我們的流程使用此框來自動控制機器。這就是為什麼正確設定
這些頁面框非常重要。
我們只處理高解析度或已認證的 PDF。PDF 必須作為單獨的頁面提供，
並包含 3 毫米出血和裁切標記。
因此，問題是是否有人能告訴我們這些參數與我們在 PTXPrint 中規定的各種數據之間的關係。特別是，Pretore 提到的這 4 個「框」中，哪一個是 PTXPrint 版面（Layout）標籤頁上的頁面大小（Page Size）？ 頁面大小是否包含 3 毫米的出血餘量，還是我們需要在我們的「頁面大小」上加上 3 毫米以容納出血餘量？此外，我們可以在完工（Finishing）標籤頁上規定的裁切標記與 Pretore 在此處要求的裁切標記之間是什麼關係？PTXPrint 的裁切標記是針對修邊尺寸（trim size）還是出血尺寸（bleed size）設定的？
再次感謝 PTXPrint 工作人員讓我們注意到 Pretore。這似乎是一個很好的可能性。
The email the PTXPrint team sent out a month ago with information about Pretore in the Netherlands was pretty interesting. All the print on demand services I have found in the States don't seem to have the specialization in Bible printing that Pretore does. So I wrote an enquiry to Pretore, and recently heard back from them. They sent a technical document which describes what they expect from us for their equipment to work properly. A key part of it said the following:
A PDF consists of multiple page boxes with dimensions of the page. It is important that the
specific page boxes have the correct size.
Media box: is the largest box present in a PDF. Other boxes cannot be larger and must fit
completely into the media box.
CropBox: no use, advice is not to use it or give it the size of MediaBox.
TrimBox: Indicates the final size. This box is important because the pages are positioned
in the print image based on this size.
BleedBox: with the bleed printing, the bleed box is 3mm larger all around than the trim
box.
Our workflow uses this box to automatically control machines. That is why it is important to set
these page boxes correctly.
We only process high resolution or Certified PDFs. The PDFs must be supplied as separate pages
with 3 mm bleed and crop marks.
So the question is whether someone can tell us what the relationship is between these parameters and the various data we specify in PTXPrint. In particular, which of these 4 "boxes" which Pretore mentions is the Page Size on the Layout tab in PTXPrint? Does the page size include the 3mm bleed allowance or do we need to add 3 mm to our "page size" to accomodate the bleed allowance? Also, what is the relationship between the crop marks which we can specify on the Finishing tab and the crop marks Pretore is asking for here? Are PTXPrint's crop marks set for the trim size or the bleed size?
Thanks again to the PTXPrint staff for bringing Pretore to our attention. It seems like a great possibility.
