Congratulations Ashraf on the opening of your new restaurant Ali's Lounge at Crofton near Wakefield. And a big thank you for inviting Valma and myself to join you for the grand opening last night. The food was fabulous, you and your family and friends were great fun, and the whole atmosphere was wonderful.

It's been a pleasure to print menus and posters for Ashraf for many years here in Wales, and now over the border in England. We hope Ali's Lounge is a big success! We can definitely recommend the food, the venue and the service.

What do printers mean by 'bleed' and 'safe area'?

You'll notice that commercially printed cards, leaflets, posters etc are often printed right to the edge, but if you try to achieve this on most desktop printers, it leaves a white border. That's because most equipment, even large commercial presses, cannot actually print right to the edge.

So how do we do it? Firstly, we use paper or card larger than the finished size. For example, an A4 document might be printed on an SRA4 sheet which is 225 x 320mm (see the picture). And the artwork to be printed is also a bit larger than the finished size (216 x 303mm in the example) - we usually allow an extra 3mm all round, which is called BLEED. As this will be trimmed off after printing, be careful not to put any text etc in the bleed area.

We use precision equipment to print and cut accurately, but there can always be small variations, so printers also recommend that you leave a SAFE AREA (5mm in this example) between the finished edges of your document and any text or other important elements., to avoid it being cropped.

If you need any guidance formatting documents for print, just send a message or email and we will try to help.

The power of mobile advertising -
I've just created some magnetic vinyl signs for Pete Evans my brother. Half an hour after parking up his white van displaying the new signs, he was aked to quote for a new client. This is one of the most effective and versatile forms of advertising.

We're enjoying the view from Handy-Office on a bright, mild February afternoon - looking out over Old Colwyn towards Colwyn Bay beach, Rhos on Sea and the Little Orme, with the Great Orme in the distance.
