Explanation:
Une explication, je ne sais pas si elle s'applique ici.
Si on imprime un format A4 en double pose (2 pages sur une feuille) et qu'on plie les feuilles en 2 pour obtenir un livret, les feuilles centrales sont décalées vers l'extérieur. Il suffit de rogner ce qui dépasse, mais l'image des feuilles centrales est aussi décalée vers l'extérieur et risque donc d'être coupée sur les bords. Pour l'éviter, on décentre l'image vers l'intérieur (réduction des blancs de petit fond ou marges intérieures) au fur et à mesure qu'on se rapproche des feuilles centrales.
