HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT BLEEDS IN PRINTING
Bleeds in printing cause many problems for novice designers of printed materials, from booklets to flyers and even business cards.
Let's take a look at a full bleed document being designed.
PRINT BASICS, printers do not print to the edge of the sheet. If a document requires printing to the edge, the sheet must be larger than the document to allow an area to be trimmed after printing, then you have a full bleed sheet.
1. We are designing an 8.5 X 11 inch finished page.
2. Our set up sheet is 9 X 11.5 inches, that a allows .25 inch
border around the 8.5 X 11 document. This is our bleed area.
3. After we print the document, we will have sheet that will be white around the outer edge. The black box will be our trim lines yielding an 8.5 x 11 inch sheet. somewhere in the .25 inch edge there will be no ink or toner.
