The planned extra < title="margins">margins of the paper designed into some pages of a print publication, which are to be later cut off by the printer. The bleed allows magazine publishers to run full color images to the edge of the paper without use of undesired white margins. These bleeds allow the final trim size (final dimensions of the paper) to meet the desired size with the color running to the edge as planned. Bleeds normally range in width from 1/8″ (0.125″) to 1/4″ (0.25″).
