What is bleed?


Where a design element (for example an image) is required to go to the very edge of the paper it is said to "bleed". The job will be printed on a larger paper size and then trimmed down to the final size later. To allow for small variations in the printing position any design elements that bleed should be extended beyond the edge by 3mm.
