To avoid problems on press when printing square-cut artwork, you may want to offset or stagger the columns of artwork to avoid the press or cylinder "bounce" that occurs when gaps in the layout cause dimples in the paper that will not properly accept ink. You can stagger the artwork in a staircase ("stair-step") or castletop pattern depending on the content of your artwork. A tall label with empty space in the middle would likely use a staircase stagger, while a label with empty space in the top or bottom half would use a castletop stagger.

1. Create a step-and-repeat layout.
2. In the Stagger area, select one of the following patterns:
   • Staircase Up
   • Staircase Down
   • Castletop - 1st Lane Up
   • Castletop - 1st Lane Down
3. For Amount, select the amount you want the artwork staggered:
   • Default—The height of the artwork divided by the number of steps across the layout.
   • 1/4
   • 1/3
   • 1/2
   • Custom
     Note: There is no Default for castletop patterns.
4. Click OK.

Tip: When working with non-rectangular artwork, you can easily create a simple nested step-and-repeat layout by entering a negative gap value in the horizontal box, and selecting a castletop stagger.

打印方正剪裁页面时，为避免印刷机出现问题，您可能希望偏移或交错页面栏以在版式间距造成纸张凹痕，使之无法正常接受涂墨时，避免印刷机或印辊发生“反弹”。 可以根据页面内容以“阶梯”或 castletop 模式交错此页面。 中间带有空隙的大标签可能使用阶梯交错，而上半部或下半部带有空隙的标签将使用 castletop 交错。

1. 创建多重拼贴版式。
2. 在“交错”区域中，选择以下其中一项种模式：
   • 上升
   • 下降
   • Castletop - 第一通道在上
   • Castletop - 第一通道在下
3. 关于数量，请选择希望该页面交错的数量：
   • 默认值 － 按版式中的拼贴数划分的页面高度。
   • 1/4
   • 1/3
   • 1/2
   • 自定义
     注意：对于 Castletop 模式，没有“默认值”。
4. 单击“确定”。
