Hi Ben,

1. Yes, but you would have to print 500+ copies as we would have to put that through the colour press.

2. Err yes. But you wouldn’t really want to do that. The reason pages have to be numbered is to do with the way pages are laid up on the press. Without page numbering this is very hard and so we couldn’t guarantee your pages would be in order. Which would be bad.

Is it possible to print a black and white newspaper on the color paper size (289 x 380)?

If we are rather against numbering pages, can we leave them off accepting that the papers might be assembled out of order?

Hi Bryan,

Those dimensions are for the whole piece of paper. The bit you’re allowed to print on is 289 mm wide x 380 mm high minus 15mm on both sides. So that’s 259 mm wide x 350 mm high.

Does that make sense?

Just to be sure, are those page dimensions inclusive of the 15mm border?

e.g. is the usable page area for a color page

289 mm wide x 380 mm

-or-

229mm x 320mm?
