Bleed is
a printing term that is used to describe a
document which has images or elements that touch
the edge of the page, extending beyond the trim
edge and leaving no white margin. When a
document has bleed, it must be printed on a
larger sheet of paper and then trimmed down.
When preparing artwork, the image (picture,
line, solid, etc) must extend beyond the trim
line by 3 mm, to be certain that no white margin
will show.
For small jobs such as business cards, 2mm is
sufficient. 3mm should be used for bigger jobs. |
