How should I supply artwork to Heron Press?
Please supply your artwork as a high resolution PDF, including 3mm bleed on all edges and crop marks. We can also accept files in Quark, InDesign, Illustrator or Photoshop. If you have a detailed artwork question please call us 0121 457 4810.
What is bleed?
Bleed is a printing term that refers to printing that goes beyond the edge of the sheet after trimming. The bleed is the part on the side of a document that gives the printer a small amount of space to account for movement of the paper, and design inconsistencies. Bleed ensures that no unprinted edges occur in the final trimmed document.
