We have had few reports from customers
having questions or concerns while putting on their Bentley
Tabs this year. We decided to put together an FYI
instructional page to help out.
There are a couple of issues being reported:
|
|
|||||||
|
|
||||||||
|
TAB MARGIN TOO SMALL
An issue has been brought to our attention
with the margins of some books. There apparently was an
unexpected error during the bindery process and some margins
were trimmed much closer than they should have been, not
allowing for very much room for the Tabs on some pages.

SOLUTION:
Knowing that this issue exists right up front helps a lot as
you put your Tabs on. You can still apply your Tabs and
keep them very straight, but you’ll have to change how
you use the guides throughout the book. Instead of lining
the thick black line up with the edge of the page, simply place
your Tab about 1/4 inch - 3/8 inch less shallow onto the page
(see pictures). Some customers have even reported to us
that they’ve actually trimmed the bottom part of the Tab
by that much so that they could apply as normal. Either
way works great and will result in straight Tabs.

BACK-TO-BACK COLLECTIONS
With the changes in this year’s
layout, the Collections no longer have introduction pages and
actually run back-to-back throughout the book. This has
caused a little confusion with the Tabs as not all of them will
be applied on the same side that the collection begins.
|
|
|||||||
|
|
||||||||
|
SOLUTION:
Just be aware that this is the case this year and be careful as
you work through the Guide. For example, the JW Collection will have a Tab on the right, it's first page. But because it is only one page, this requires the Tab for the next collection, JW Originals, to be applied to the right-hand side because it,
too, is only one page collection. This means that the Tab
for the next collection, May Series is actually applied onto
it’s 2nd page as well, instead of it’s first page.
This requires the next 3 collections to follow this same
awkward suit. However, the rhythm comes back into balance
after the Pottery Collection and all is well. Rest
assured, once the Tabs are applied, they are still VERY HELPFUL
and make the book MUCH EASIER to use.
