If you do not include bleeds, your ad will have a 1/4 (.25 ) white border when printed. To export to PDF from Adobe InDesign: Go to File > Export and then select PDF from the drown down menu of file formats. Click Save. A window should come up (see below) with options. Choose Press Quality from the top drop down menu. Under the sidebar tab Marks and Bleeds, check the boxes to include all printer s marks and to Use Document Bleed Settings. What is a bleed? When pages are printed on a press, the paper can shift and cause inconsistent margins. For this reason, for the ink to appear to go to the very edge of the page, the designer must make their artwork and background colors extend into the bleed area, or the area beyond the edge of the pre-trimmed page. The bleed ensures that no unprinted edges occur in the final trimmed document. TIPS: Keep all text/logos at least 3/16 (.1875 ) away from the edge of the page or they may be cut off. For best results, images within the ad should be TIF or EPS format, 300 dpi or higher. Color should be converted to CMYK (not RGB and with all spots converted to process ). All layers of placed images should be flattened before saving in order to ensure transparency effects. Convert all type to outlines. Avoid hairline rules. PRINT AD TODAY! Call or 4
