It really is a simple concept BUT only when someone explains it like this. More than half of the bleed videos out there find a way to make it even more confusing. Thanks Jeremy, 5 years later and this video is still helping people understand what bleed is.

@JeremyBardwellGR 5 жыл бұрын

Thanks Tony! I'm glad it helped :) I thought the exact same thing when I first learned about bleed. It doesn't really make any sense unless you understand why it's needed.

I am a book author and some time ago, my book publisher closed and asked all authors if they would like their bleed information and didn't think I needed it since they were closing their doors, but I purchased the info from the company and glad I did. Makes it easier for another publisher to have that info in case you decide to republish your book with another company. I never understood the importance of bleed until this video. Now I'm gald I did get my bleed info and understand it now. Thank you for posting the video. Very informative.

You said not to add marks. May I ask you why? I have heard the opposite and wanted to know if this is a printer preference or is it just better for printers in general? Thank you for the clear, concise tutorial. You are the first person I've come across, to really make it understandable. 😃

@JeremyBardwellGR 7 жыл бұрын

Thank you! I'm glad it helped! I can't speak for every printer out there, but in my experience leaving the crops out is much better. The reason being... 90% of the time the people adding the crops don't know what they're doing. For instance, let's say you have a book that you send to a printer and you send it single pages with bleeds and crops. The printer then has to layout the book, but when they do they notice the marks aren't offset enough and now have to under-trim the book or contact the file creator and ask for it to be fixed. There are many other scenarios I could list as well but in my opinion... Leave the crops to the professionals. They're the one's printing it and if they want them in the file they can add them themselves.

Hey, thank you for this tutorial, it was really helpful :) Can the bleed amount (.125") be used on custom labels or will it vary depending on different label sizes?

@JeremyBardwellGR 4 жыл бұрын

Thanks man! It depends on the printers requirements. If they're circle labels whether precut sheets or rolls the printer may need a custom setup. That being said... If you send them the file with .125 bleed they can take it from there.

Thanks for the video. I worked in a small printing company, so basically I'm a graphic designer slash DTP artist slash printer. It's hard to deal with designer or non designer client and explaining them the importance of bleed. Most of the time I had a big argument with them. And because of that, most of the time I only have the time to create bleed for their files and refuse to accept any design work. Sorry for my english because its not my first language.

@keganstokes989 6 жыл бұрын

Thanks for the video! I'm designing a book and I initially wanted my trim size to be a standard A4 page. Now that I've watched this, I feel I should reduce my trim size so that I can incorporate a bleed while still being able to print on A4 (I'm printing and cropping the book myself). Would you agree?

@JeremyBardwellGR 6 жыл бұрын

Hey Kegan... Happy I could help. So if you're doing a 8.3 x 11.7 inch booklet that bleeds. You just need to add bleed to it. So in indesign add .125 as the bleed setting OR if youre using something that doesn't have a bleed setting you would make your page size 8.55x11.95 and then make sure that nothing important goes closer than .375 from the edge. Sorry im not used to using mm. but you can do it that way as well.
