Print bleed tutorial for preparing print files

[VanThomasWebb]

easier is - create new document to the size you need (for example business cards 85mm x 55mm) set bleeds to 5mm all around (in the new document window), then click on 'rectangle tool' then on the canvas and create box 5mm smaller from each side (in business case its 75mm x 45mm), center the box to the canvas and click ctrl+5 (command+5 on mac) which will create guide... template ready :-)

Hello,

Yes all printers would see this. Some use an 1/8th inch and some use a 1/16th. This tutorial is for the 1/8th. The tips of the crop marks sit right on the 1/8th inch areas. Thanks for the inquiry.

would a regular printer realize that you are doing a bleed and print accordingly?
