BLEED PRINTING - ICORE
A bleed print is a print with no white margin (like a photograph).
No copier will print to the edge of the paper, so this effect is created
by printing a slightly-larger image onto a larger sheet of paper and
trimming it to size. If you want to create this effect, you need to plan
for it and create separate special files. It is not possible for us to pull a
page from one of your files and make it a bleed print.

Step One:
When you’re designing your page, remember that we’re going to
be blowing your image up and then trimming some of it off. Make
sure that you don’t place anything important within ½-inch of the
edge of the sheet. We have to cut some of your image off—don’t
forget!

Step Two:
Create a PDF. Check to see that there’s at least a half-inch of
disposable space at the edges. Submit that special page (and
any others) to us using the directions you were given (ex. TEAM
432 SPECIAL.pdf). For more information, see www.copysales.com/

We will scale, print, and trim your art and have it ready for you
when you pick up your case pages.
COMMON MISTAKES:
1. Placing content (names, icons, etc.) too close to the edge of the
sheet.

- We scale your art up and trim it to the final size. Placing content
too near the edge (any closer than ½-inch in your original file)
means it will be cut off.
