Bleeds are a topic I’ve discussed before and they continue to be one of the most often forgotten steps in creating a print-ready file. Many new graphic designers, or designers that don’t typically design for print, seem to either not know what bleeds are and why they are important or they are aware their files should have bleed, but don’t know how to add it correctly.
I stumbled across this excellent video by Dansky that explains exactly how to set up bleed in Adobe InDesign documents. Hopefully, this video helps clear up some of the confusion.
