About bleed margins

A bleed margin is a part of your layout that is printed to the edge of a finished page.

Once a page is reproduced on press, the bleed margin is removed.

In PrintShop Mail, your total layout size (as seen in Size in the Layout menu) includes the bleed margin.

To add a bleed margin for each layout

1. From the Edit menu, select Preferences (CTRL+K) .

2. In the left pane, click the Imposition Settings icon.

3. Select one of the following:

3. • None: No bleed margin

   • Add to Layout: To add the bleed margin to your layout, thus increasing your layout size

   • Include in Layout: To subtract the bleed margin from your layout, thus keeping your layout size the same as before.
