I am having a die cut card made that has two colored circles. The circles are touching on a colored. background and I want the card to be cut exactly around the circles. The card looks like OO with horizontal lines tangent to the tops and bottoms connecting the circles. It seems like the requirement for a bleed area makes this impossible.

I have no idea why they would want this either. I can understand the advantages of having bleed inside the document when you are doing special packaging or POS stuff but for regular documents it doesn’t seem to make sense.

I just started dealing with a print service who wants the InDesign document size to be the size of the document including the bleed. I have never seen this before. You set up the document to the trim size and bleed over the edge however much they require; but to make the document size as big as the bleed? And when you make a PDF including bleed it doesn’t matter anyway. Is this something new? I have been doing graphic design professionally for 20 years.

my boss wants us to provide a creep allowance from the head of a page on signatures printing off an open web. i told him what he really wants is for prepress to control his press bounce. in any event, can preps or prinergy provide head to foot creep allowance the same way it does for bind to face? i dont think so. any ideas?
