The Basics of Bleeds

Jonathan Adams — Sat, 16 Jul 2011 02:07:59 +0000

We have had several of our clients recently ask us about setting up their own files for offset printing. One of the most confusing aspects of printing seems to be bleeds. To ensure that your file prints correctly, you need to set bleeds up correctly. When you want colors or graphics to print to the edge of your page, you have to design the page larger than the size of the document. Printing presses cannot print exactly to the edge of the page, so documents are printed larger and then cut down to size. Your pages should be set up 1/8 inch larger all the way around the page. So, if you have an 8 1/2 x 11 inch document, you should design the piece as 8 3/4 x 11 1/4.

Also be aware of the safety area on your document. Since most finished pieces are printed on larger paper and cut, you have to make sure that you do not have any text or critical graphics too close to the edge of the page. You should make sure that you allow 1/8 inch between critical text and the edge of your page.

These guidelines will help ensure that your print piece looks great, and moves smoothly through the offset process. As always, if you have questions, please contact your Isis Media Group rep and we can walk you through the steps.
