Dutch term or phrase: opmaakwit
I am currently working on a small advertising text (classified ads in newspaper) for a printing firm.

There is very little context unfortunately:

"Bij een 1/1 pagina wordt 2.786 mm in rekening gebracht (zonder opmaakwit)".

All suggestions welcome - KudoZ points will be awarded within 72 hours.

Many thanks,

Pikey

surrounding white space


Explanation:
I think that opmaakwit refers to the 'witruimte' surrounding the text. The standard English term for 'witruimte' is 'white space'.

Apparently, the customer only has to pay for the space that is actually being used for the printed text. He does not have to pay for the surrounding white space.

Make sure the size of the document is the size of your ads with no surrounding white space.
Supply a colour/mono proof with all advertisements (essential).
No White space / Crop marks are to be in the Document.

Het gevulde deel van het blad heet bladspiegel en (na de uitvinding van het drukken met losse letters ook) zetspiegel, het overblijvende deel, de randen, de marges, wordt witruimte genoemd. Die witruimte bevindt zich boven en onder, links en rechts van de bladspiegel, en die vier randen staan in een bepaalde verhouding tot elkaar (zijn zelden gelijk).
