Heads up on a common bleed mistake I see in submitted files

People keep sending me print files with a 0.125 inch bleed when my shop's RIP software needs exactly 0.25 inches to process correctly. It's causing a ton of last-minute fixes because the crop marks get cut off. Has anyone else's printer given you a different bleed spec than what you learned in school?

My old print shop required a full 3mm bleed, which was a pain to remember after switching from the standard 2mm.

That "pain to remember" feeling is so real, it's like every company has its own secret rulebook.
