Printable area
Note when printing on a Kodak
NexPress digital production color
press, the printable area on every size
sheet is bounded by a nonprinting
area around the edges of the sheet.
These margins need to be calculated
into the final layout of any document.
An easy way to design for this is to
allow at least 6 mm (.25 inch) non-
printing margin around the entire final
layout, front and back. Make sure all
bleeds, notes and production marks
are inside this margin. The chart below
shows the maximum printing area for
standard sheet sizes often printed on
a NexPress press.

NexPress press’s page format specifications for U.S. paper sizes:
Paper and substrates
The NexPress press provides excellent
results and true color reproduction on a
wide assortment of paper types includ-
ing coated, uncoated, gloss, matte and
textured finishes. It handles weights
from 20# (80 g/m
2
) bond to 110#
(300 g/m
2
) cover and label stocks.
Bleeds
Prepare jobs that bleed in exactly the
same way as you would for conven-
tional printing with an extra 3 mm
(.125 inch) to allow for trimming on
the bleed edges. For die cut jobs, you
may want to increase your bleed to 6
mm (.25 inch) to anticipate possible
movement on finishing devices.
