Understanding bleed

We could go into this in some depth, but someone has kindly done it for us…

Understanding Bleed (Wikipedia)

We need bleed on every job that you send to us, so please – if you’re not sure and want your job to run smoothly, read this first!

What is CMYK?

Much of our printing is carried out in process colours – commonly known as CMYK.  Want to understand more?

I wanted to give you a big thank you for delivering the Twist frame so quickly. From the time I sent the first email to the afternoon you set it up took less than 5 working days. Amazing turnaround and outstanding service as always. I've received excellent feedback from our Product Manager and MD, it looks great.

A small note to say a big thank you for your help with our recent order. I really appreciated you checking in with us before going to print and for your help in posting to two addresses.

You did an excellent job for us in July, our customer was delighted, and he's not an easy one to please.

Quick note to acknowledge receipt of the booklets yesterday, and to say that I'm absolutely delighted with the result - once again, a superb service from Flexpress! I've forwarded your invoice to our finance department with a request that they cough up as soon as possible (they are usually fairly good).
