I had to ask because the latter option places it toward the bottom of a file list alphabetically. I'm worried that it might end up being a bit confusing?

Is that possible? And would the naming convention be "024-insideback.tif"? (For a 24-page comic, that is.) I’d like to run a two-page spread across the final interior page and the inside back cover.

That should work. As long as you have no images you want to bleed off and you make the canvas size of your files the same size as the canvas size of the template, then yes. That should work.

This template is a timesaver since I lay out my pages in Illustrator. This will take all the guesswork out of it. I’m definitely going to find it much easier to submit as Page_08-09.tif in future.

At 300 dpi the unaided human eye is incapable of separating two adjacent dots. We just don't have the visual acuity for it. So when you're viewing our 300 dpi template on screen at 100% you're looking at a 1 to 1 ratio -- you're seeing 1 screen pixel for each 1 dot printed. So if you're checking details at 400% you're way into overkill territory. No … it just means you’re zooming in waaaay too far.

If you zoom in to about 400% you can see the blue and yellow areas blending to form a single-pixel-wide, vertical, green line; if you measure the margin/trim areas on the left page, they do not match the right page. Overall, I feel that the dashed lines are making it more difficult to understand; the colors should be enough. Am I overlooking some obvious fact of printing, or is this template just not very exact?
