Cracking on Folds
Wausau: A common concern with digital printing is cracking, especially on folded areas. If basic design principles are followed, problems are less likely to arise when it is time for folding and finishing, trimming and binding. Discuss sequencing with the designer of the piece and the amount of gutter space needed for the chosen binding. Remember that folding with the grain is preferable, as opposed to against it.
