Question
Can I print with bleed to avoid white borders?
Answer
Yes. Printing with bleed is how you get color and images that run edge to edge with no white slivers along the trim. Bleed means extending your background slightly past the final cut line so small shifts during cutting never expose the paper.
| Setting | Recommended |
|---|---|
| Bleed | 1/8 inch (0.125") on all four sides |
| Safe zone | Keep text and logos 1/8 inch inside the trim |
| Color mode | CMYK |
If you are not sure your file is set up correctly, a file rep can review it and adjust the proof before printing.
