Awesome, very useful info, I am visual, so once I saw the corresponding graphics with your further explanation, I got the concept, otherwise you could be talking until cows came home. Thank you for this!
Thank u so much! I was trying to understand how bleeding affects photography printing, watched some videos before this and none of them came as good as yours. You saved my life, here's my like! Cheers!
If What I’m going to print size is A6. What I’m supposed to do in photoshop. Do I have to choose size A6 and make what I want to print smaller for the bleed. Or make the sizes bigger than A6?
You need to make your artwork larger than A6 so that it can then be trimmed down to A6. So, if for example your printer requires 3mm bleed on all sides, and your final piece was to be A6 portrait, you would make your artwork size 111mm wide by 154mm high, which would then be trimmed down to 105mm x 148mm.
This is the missing piece of the puzzle. I couldn’t figure out why my designs for Print on Demand all added a white border around the design in the mock-ups. I guess I just need to make the size of the image bigger?
Hi Parker, It will be easiest for me to show you. So what I will do is record a quick video on how to apply bleed in Illustrator and upload it to my channel. It is 1am here in Scotland, so I’ll get that video done and uploaded tomorrow. I hope that is cool with you.
Hey Parker, I've now uploaded a video that should hopefully answer your question about bleed. Here is the link: ruclips.net/video/LG_O_7n6Hmw/видео.html Stay Creative! Col
Good explanation, now I am just missing a way to fix this in Word. But if I understand this correctly, I have to set the size of the paper larger than a A4 (if that is what I am printing on)?
Hey Søren, yes, that is correct, in something like MS Word you'd need to create a page size that was larger than A4. Here is a handy PDF that gives instructions on how to do that: www.catfordprint.co.uk/Flip%20Books/Bleed/files/assets/common/downloads/page0010.pdf
Hi Ryan, I've had a quick look at the manual for your printer and I don't think that your printer does full bleed (edge to edge) printing. You would have to print to the maximum size and then trim the white border.
oh thank you so much, appreciate that and tbh it's sad my printer so expensive and doesn't have that :( I do print T-shirts so I have to cut the paper every single time which is a bit annoying. Is there any solution or something, please?
@@RockYourBrand Yes. I've got templates where the safe zone is as far as a cm from the edges. So if I align something perfectly at the center, it may end up squashed against the left margin and then having 2cm of whitespace on the right side. If this happens 1 in a thousand prints I'd just ignore the safe zone and pay extra for the reprints. But it seems every print service insists on their ridiculous (from a design perspective) margins
hey mate, the margin of error on trimming is usually around 1mm, so it really won't be noticeable on most things. Only really small items, but in those instances, the printer is usually aware and will take extra care.
I watched 3 videos before this and haven't understand it well, till I watched this. awesome explanation. thank you!
Thanks Ahmad :)
I've watched 20 vids on this and you're the only person that explained it clearly. Thank you for speaking layman. It's truly a gift.
Thanks Mark. I know there is a lot of jargon out there and I try my best to keep that at a minimum in my videos :)
You have taught me more than my college course and saved my grade, god bless!
Simple straightforward explanation...All I've been looking for...Thank you so much!
You are very welcome Kasra.

You are very welcome :)
Amazing Video!!
Could anyone please help me with the font in the animation used at the beginning of the tutorials
This is the missing piece of the puzzle. I couldn’t figure out why my designs for Print on Demand all added a white border around the design in the mock-ups.
I guess I just need to make the size of the image bigger?
THANKS MAN!
You are very welcome Akshay.
great job man!
Cheers Frankie 🤘
Yea! I understand! Thank you! Short | Sweet | and used KISS (Keep it simple sweetie!)
I do believe I am going to start using Keep It Simple Sweetie! :)
I think I get it now, so there is no way of not loosing a bit of a photo when printing them?
If you want the image to go right to edge of the paper then yes, you will need to sacrifice a few millimetres in the printing/trimming process.
@@RockYourBrand Thanks man, this was bugging me and now I see the sacrifice you have to take. Cheers!
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!
Great explanation!! Thank you so much! New subscriber here. 😊
That is awesome Jenny. Thank you so much for subscribing to the channel :)
What if you want to include all the image and dont have trim to use?
You have to lose some of the image if you want it to go right to the edge after trimming. there isn't really any way around that.
Ur cool. Thanks
Thanks Boss
Thank you.

How can I print the photo in full bleed without any white border, please? my printer is OKI laser 711WT

Not that I can think of Ryan with the printer that you use. Maybe someone else will see your question and have an option for you.
subbed. i don't understand why it is few subs. the intro looks like from 2019 yet the timestamp is on 2016 the vid looks like new
This is one of my earliest videos. Thanks for subbing Nero.
@@RockYourBrand gonna dig to few tuts im the channel. wc u deserve the sub
So basically trying to align something perfectly in the center of your print is going to be nothing but a disappointment?
Do you mean from a trimming point of view due to the error margin?
@@RockYourBrand Yes. I've got templates where the safe zone is as far as a cm from the edges. So if I align something perfectly at the center, it may end up squashed against the left margin and then having 2cm of whitespace on the right side.

hi sir
the title of your video clip should be bleed in visual arts instead of publishing.
