If sizes and margins are different on your new artboard, you can click the Document Setup button and set the sizes. Like me, if you want to create two sides for the business card, click Artboard Tool and set size to Document Size and click Insert Artboard to get two artboards with identical settings. This will create our document with a proper bleed and safe area. Link margins on the Bleed section and set it to 0.125 and click Ok.Check Include Margins and link margins by clicking the Link Margins icon to the right.DPI is set to 300, for print work you should always provide your artwork with 300DPI or greater. Here we set up the Business card size (this is the trim size). I have kept the default Color profile, but you can choose whichever works for you (talk to your printer).

If there is a misalignment while cutting, it will result in your artwork having a white margin on a side or two. When we give artworks for print, the printer prints it on a large sheet of paper which is then trimmed down to the size we want. Why do we need a bleed and safe area anyway?
