> 
> The page height is 307mm, which means A4 height + 1cm. 
> 
> This extra cm is not desired on a version for viewing but it is needed on a 
> version for printing, because the document is printed over a white page, and 
> any cutting imprecision might lead to a white stripe appearing where we 
> should only see blue.
> 
> So, to use bleed you must:
> 
> Define a document page size which is larger than the final document. Use 
> margins to delimit the "real" working area. Let the coloured elements on the 
> edges of the document extend to the extra area outside the margins.
> 
> In this way cutting imprecisions will not be noticed.
> 
> In the above example bleed was only used on top and bottom, but depending on 
> your printer you may or may not need to use it on the four sides.

Gustavo, I've just added your explanations to our wiki article on "Bleed
workarounds" (made by Louis a while ago).

Please feel free to add more of your stuff if needed. Need a Wiki account?

cheers
