Appendix Image Creep About Image Creep When a stack of paper is folded to make a booklet, the thickness of the paper causes a progressive image movement between the inner-most and outer-most pages. This is called creep. To keep the image in the same place on each page, an adjustment for creep can be made. Some print machines can automatically compensate when they print in 'booklet mode'. Alternatively, adjustment can be made in origination software (such as InDesign); or PDF pages can be adjusted before they are printed using imposition software (such as Quite Imposing). The amount of creep adjustment needed depends on the number of pages and the thickness of the paper. A booklet with only a few pages and wide margins may not need adjustment because the difference, after the book is trimmed, is not noticeable. With more pages, smaller margins, or bulkier paper, the creep becomes more noticeable and can result in loss of image if no adjustment is made. Watkiss PowerSquare™224 User Manual 97

About Image Creep
When a stack of paper is folded to make a booklet, the thickness of the paper
causes a progressive image movement between the inner-most and outer-most
pages.
This is called creep.
To keep the image in the same place on each page, an adjustment for creep
can be made.
Some print machines can automatically compensate when they print in 'booklet
mode'.
Alternatively, adjustment can be made in origination software (such as InDe-
sign); or PDF pages can be adjusted before they are printed using imposition
software (such as Quite Imposing).
The amount of creep adjustment needed depends on the number of pages and
the thickness of the paper. A booklet with only a few pages and wide margins
may not need adjustment because the difference, after the book is trimmed, is
not noticeable. With more pages, smaller margins, or bulkier paper, the creep
becomes more noticeable and can result in loss of image if no adjustment is
made.
