I forgot to get prints for my event, and I need them today! What do I do?!: We are here to help. Send us your file, call us to be sure we have received it (341-5253), and let us know your deadline.
Can you print things that aren’t related to ESU?: Always. We are here to help with whatever we can.
What is "bleed" and do I need it?: Please see the information below to learn about this and other tips which will help you.

Bleed and Trim

The original file from the ESU designers (above) includes bleed and trim marks (look in the corners) in this example of a 4x6 inch card.

The marks indicate where the image should be trimmed and the extra image (called the "bleed") around the edge is removed in the trimming process. The result is edge-to-edge image and a card that is exactly 4x6 inches.

The file is duplicated multiple times on a single sheet, a process called "step and repeat."

This is the final product. You can see this is the most efficient use of materials and production time, and therefore the most effective way to print. Professional graphic designers, like those in the ESU Marketing and Media Relations Department, create artwork with this goal in mind.
