Bleed is a printing term used for images or graphics that extend beyond the edge of the paper that get trimmed off. As printing presses cannot print all the way to the edge of a sheet of paper, designers add a small excess amount of artwork on each edge. This makes the printed material larger than the desired final size of the work. After printing, this excess printed material is trimmed off, giving the ‘finished work’ the appearance of being printed all the way to the edge of the paper. With a bleed it is impossible to get a white border because the image overlaps the trim edge.
