I want to have my art printed on foam board. To do so, my understanding is that I have trace my cut file- which I have done. But I am unable to figure out how to duplicate that contour cut layer to make a bleed layer. I am stuck on this so i can not get to the next step which is adding registration dots. Anyone have any tips?
Hi @gcrad,
You'll need to select your cut contour layer, and go to Object > Path > Offset Path...
Then, select how many inches of bleed you'll need (it might be 1/4" but ask your printer what they need, to be safe). Change "Miter" to "Round" in the "Joins" option if you don't want pointy edges.
If you have artwork that bleeds off the edge, you'll need to extend it past the cut contour line.
