Reply To: What are the use of bleed marks?

It’s an excellent question, Timothy. I don’t think anyone really needs them other than as an indicator that the objects are really bleeding past the crop marks and far enough out.

That said, a lot of printers don’t want ANY marks anymore. Most printers I’ve worked with in recent years say “don’t add trim/crop or bleed marks; our system does that for us.” It’s worth asking the printer.
