Jan Tschichold recommends =96 for double sided printing =96 dividing = height and width by 9 and using one part as top and outer margins and = two parts as bottom and inner margins (Willk=FCrfreie Ma=DFverh=E4ltnisse = der Buchseite und des Satzspiegels). For single sided printing, I can't = find a reference, but would try taking one part for left and right = margins. yours, dillo= -- To unsubscribe send an email to discuss+unsubscribe@mdocml.bsd.lv
