      Hey Guys, I’m sure this has been solved before but I can’t seem to figure out the issue here. For some reason when I go to print out my zine it looks completely different from what I’m seeing in the Print preview. I’m currently using Indesign CC 2015 on a MacBook pro with OS X El Capitan 10.11.5. Has anyone else experienced this before? I attached a few screenshots to show you. When exporting to a Post Script file everything becomes off center and images are cut off and not correct. Any help on this would be great!

      1. Screenshots?…

      2. Why do you export to PostScript? Have you tried exporting to PDF through one of the PDF presets?

      If you are using Print Booklet it will look different because InDesign puts it in printer spreads and signatures. It also does the imposition. Truly most printers would rather people just export to PDF because you don’t need PS files much anymore.

      Here’s some imposition info. I don’t think Print Booklet is helpful at all. I usually set up one “layout” InDesign file, then update the links when I have a new issue, etc.
