The solid line shows the edges of thefinished piece. (these should not beplaced on your artwork).
The dotted line shows the bleededge, the area between this and thesolid line is the bleed and should be3 - 5mm wide.
These are the crop marks, placed in
each corner which will be used asguides to cut the printed artwork down to size.

Below is an example of how crop marks and bleed are placed and work.
What is a bleed and when do I need this?
The bleed is any colour or content from your artwork that runs to the edge of the desired page. It is important thatin cases when you do require a bleed that a minimum of 3 mm over the cropped edges is provided. If you dont
provide bleed there is a chance that a white edge will be seen after the printed paper is trimmed down to size.
What are crop marks and when do I need them?
Crop marks are again very important when setting up a document as these in turn tell the printer exactly wherethe document should be cut to. Crop marks should be placed off the printed area in each corner of the documentand should not be placed as a border around your artwork.

Resolution
If you are creating or scanning artwork please ensure that theresolution is high enough to ensure a crisp finish.We recommenda minimum of 300dpi.
Sometimes when we are supplied with an image of low quality andresolution we may ask for a picture of a higher resolution (ideallybetween 200dpi and 300dpi) This may seem like a simple case of changing the dpi on the original photo in Photoshop but this onlyfurther pixelates the picture so an original high resolution pictureis needed.

Below is an example of a picture saved 72dpi & 300dpi
72dpi 300 dpi
Creating a PDF (portable document format)
Saving your files as a PDF is the safest way to hand your artwork over as it captures all the fonts and artwork set up.You can create a PDF from many of the modern packages including Illustrator and Quark. On these packages you areable to save as then select PDF as the file format. If using a Microsoft package such as Office orPublisher you will need to have a PDF creating software such as AdobeAcrobat.There are serveralfree programs available on the internet to download eg www.pdf955.com.To create a PDF selectfile, Print and then choose the PDF package you have.
