We've made a lovely new video on bleed - if you like it, can you write something lovely about it in the reviews (if you don't - don't!!!)?

Enjoy....

Ahhh, finally, people can stop looking at my name and thinking I'm an axe murderer.
Can you possibly do a vid about ears bleeding too?, without the music!

Na good work mate.

Good work, explaining bleed to clients is one of our biggest struggles in life! At least now if all else fails I can point them in the direction of this video and be done with it!

Entertaining vid.. I can recommend a music composer ... just kidding..

I've got 2 new clients looking business cards done.

I created initial designs as 'pdfs' in Photoshop.. 1 has OK'd the other is still pending..

Each is to be 85 x 55mm (I belive thats std size?)

Anyways what size should I set them so as to cover for bleeds?

2mm ie 87mm or 89mm (57mm & 59mm)

If you are adding on 2mm bleed this needs to be onto each edge, therefore the artwork with bleed should be 89mm x 59mm.

3mm of bleed on each edge would be safer at 91mm x 61mm

We also have a page on bleed and offer free blank print templates which already include bleed for most standard sizes.

Hope that helps.

I 've just been looking at your site and found the templates. I saw them before but didn't download them and just couldn't remember.

Many Thanks Damon.

I'll move to the back of the class...
