Chapter 1.

1.11.
Samples should be furnished if possible. They should be plainly marked showing the desired type, size of type page, illustrations if any, paper, trim, lettering, and binding.
1.12.
In looseleaf or perforated-on-fold work, indicate folio sequence, including blank pages, by circling in blue. Begin with first text page (title). Do not folio separate covers or dividers.
1.13.
Indicate on copy if separate or self-cover. When reverse printing in whole or in part is required, indicate if solid or tone.
1.14.

Avoid use of oversize fold-ins wherever possible. This can be done by splitting a would-be fold-in and arranging the material to appear as facing pages in the text. Where fold-ins are numerous and cannot be split, consideration should be given to folding and inserting these

into an envelope pasted to the inside back cover.
1.15.
Every effort should be made to keep complete jobs of over 4 pages to signatures (folded units) of 8, 12, 16, 24, or 32 pages. Where possible, avoid having more than two blank pages at the end.
1.16.
Indicate alternative choice of paper on the requisition. Where possible, confine choice of paper to general use items carried in inventory as shown in the GPO Paper Catalog.
1.17.
If non-standard trim sizes and/or type areas are used, indicate head and back margins. Otherwise, GPO will determine the margins.
1.18.
Customers should submit copy for running heads and indicate the numbering sequence for folios, including the preliminary pages.
1.19.
Corrections should be made on first proofs returned, as later proofs are intended for verification only. All corrections must be indicated on the "R" (revise) set of proofs, and only that set should be returned to GPO.
1.20.
Corrections should be marked in the margins of a proof opposite the indicated errors, not by writing over the print or between the lines. All queries on proofs must be answered.
