InDesign Tips - Working With Page Positions for Shingling Shingling, Creep and Gutter Jumps Shingling is a term used by printers to move individual pages into the gutter to allow for what is called "Creep". "Creep" is basically the thickness of a saddle-stitched book. If this process is new to you, just take your favorite magazine and unfold it to the center spread, then take a ruler and measure the thickness of all the pages, from the outside the cover to the center spread. This is the amount of creep the magazine contains. Perfect bound books do not have these issues. Not all gutters are created equal Shingling is determined by a formula based on paper thickness and number of signatures that make up a printed piece. Alignment problems occur when items cross-over or "jump" the gutter, because of the shingling process, the images are moved towards the gutter throughout the book. To help alleviate the read-across problems, the following is a simple way to eliminate these read-across issues. The following example uses a single, center spread. Your Account Executive can then tell you the amount of shingling that your piece will require for each spread that contains a cross-over. (There is no need to worry about spreads that do not have an image spreading across two pages.) Design your spread as you normally 1 would, using the normal trim size of your printed piece. 12
