231,275 Points"Gutter" is a term from the printing industry that simply refers to space between columns. It's not a reference to any specific technique. They can be created by any of several methods, including padding or margins.
The use of a gutter is a design decision. They are added anytime they improve the attractiveness and/or readability of the layout.
