 Trim, Type safe, and Bleed markings

• Trim is the final size of your comic page after it has been printed and cut to size by the printer.
• Type Safe is the area that you can safely place artwork and text that will not get cut off in the timing process. Your logo, panels, and artwork will go here.
• Bleed is the area that is not expected to be printed but may be printed if the printer’s trimming of the comic is not precise. This template allows for an industry standard of 0.25″ of bleed. Only non essential artwork details should be placed in the bleed area.

600DPI

Most printing services require 300DPI for printing. Making your artwork at 600DPI ensures that it can be printed for comic books, posters, and almost anything else you may need to print on in the future.

Interior Story Pages – Single Page, Double Page

The single and double page – Interior pages include markings for dividing the page into halves and thirds, as well as for creating panel border layouts

• Halve markers The halve markers can be found on the outer-most border of the template (a solid line indicating the Bleed border). The markers are small dashes at the top, bottom, and both sides of the bleed border.

• Thirds markers The thirds markers can be found on dotted line directly next to the Bleed border line (This line indicates Trim). They are small markings at the top, bottom, and both sides of the solid border.

• Panel Border Markings The panel markers are based on a 36 panel grid. While you will very likely never need 36 panels, it allows for a high degree of flexibility when creating panel layouts for your page.
