Possibly really dumb quark question...

[Epectasis]

ok...i havent used quark in ages and i might begin to do so very soon again...

it's a printing question (obviously):

let's say im designing a brochure, i go into quark, design the whole thing, link the pages up keep 'em numbered and everything is done properly.

Obviously my brochure is going to be printed both front and back of each pages.

My question lies therein, the pages are numbered like they should be, but is it to the designer to set something in the options for priting front-back or is this something the printer will do on his own?

Just keep the pages in order in your document pallet. Another words if it's a 4 page doc, don't put page 4 at the top of your running order or at the top of your document pallet. Or if there are panels set up in spreads then also keep them in order. Don't put page 1 (or panel) where page 6 should be.

ok, so essentially i just leave it in the order they should be in the palette (ie:
"x" and 1
2 and 3
4 and 5

and when they are gonna go to print the print guys will know automatically that they are recto-verso prints?

Yes, they usually know to paginate multipage flyers/books. Write down what you want from them, and it's always a good rule to send them proofs, mocked up the way you want it done. This will give them something concrete to "see" what you mean, thus eliminating almost any possibility of confusion.

aaaaaaaaah okay, so if i put together a dummy (when i worked in the paper industry, the department that i worked at did a lot of that) and basically draw it on it to make sure they know what im talking about.

excellent. cuz im playing around again with Quark right now, and well, it's been a really long time since i've used it and im quite a bit rusty. The worse thing is i have an interview friday and they are looking for someone who knows Quark!

I didnt actually apply for that job, someone i had this interview for this job (totally not related to design) and the lady was saying that i should be working for their designers and not for them. So she forwarded my cv to them and whaddya know? she called me up.

So now im scrambling to get ready for the interview as i think i would love finally getting a job in something i want to do.

imposition extensions usually put the pages in all the correct orers etc depends on size of plates printer uses
