WHAT DO THE RED LINES AROUND THE PAGES MEAN? WILL EVERYTHING OUTSIDE THE RED CROP LINES BE CUT OFF?
The red lines are there to gauge cut marks. The book pages will be cut somewhere between those red lines and the edge of the page. It is very important that text and critical image portions stay well within the red lines so they don’t end up too close to the edge of the page. It is equally important that “bleed” images go all the way to the edge of the page (not just to the red lines) as any white area around the image may show on the final product.
