Bleed
▎Auto-Generated Bleed
Bleed will be auto-generated for artwork that touches the edge of the sheet for all products. Do not include in file.
▎If File Already Has Bleed
If uploading a file with bleed, you’ll need to crop or skew the image in the uploader and will be prompted to do so.
If possible, we recommend re-uploading the file without bleed.
Contour Cuts
• For contour cuts on substrates thicker than 1/8” (.125), all inside cuts will require 3/8” or 0.375 radius.
• No contour cuts apply to 10mm Coroplast.
• FireSprint reserves the right to simplify overly complex contour cut paths to maximize the quality of the final product.
• Proofs are required to be sent for approval for altered cut paths at no additional cost.
• Borders at the edge of double-sided signs must be 3/8” or thicker not including bleed.
