At the link below you can download the Scribus file, a PDF, an SVG and a JPG file. drive.google.com/file/d/1SrtRLvTlNR06Mm7z8Stg8tDEdk0P5hpw/view?usp=share_linkI designed the page US Letter with 15 mm borders on all sides. This border DOES NOT scale well. If you need to rescale it, I STRONGLY SUGGEST you open the Scribus file, ungroup the border and resize each of the 3 boxes that make up the border to the size you need. That will give you the best results. If you want to recreate the border on your own, here is what I did: - The outer box has a 0.1 mm line width
- The middle box is 2mm smaller on each side than the outer box. Its line width is 0.75 mm and is 50% grey
- The inner box has a 0.1mm line width and is 2mm smaller on all sides than the middle box
I made a post about this on my website also:

Curious what people think: Coincidently, that is the same border I used for the first AlbumEasy sample file, except in black,
it is simple enough to duplicate, here it is in grey: COLOUR_ALBUM_BORDER(grey)
ALBUM_PAGES_BORDER (0.1 0.75 0.1 1.0) Because this specifies the spacing between the border lines rather than having to place three separate boxes, it will of course scale to fit any size page. For my own albums I like two black lines, the outer 0.6mm, the inner 0.1mm, spaced 1mm apart, to my eye, I think that it looks quite elegant.
I also prefer a wider left margin to accommodate punched holes, which would not be necessary for pages that are going into page protectors. Clive |
