There are three main types of bleeding: arterial, venous, and capillary bleeding. Arterial bleeding occurs in the arteries, which transport blood from the heart to the body. Venous bleeding happens in the veins, which carry blood back to the heart.
What is the bleed on a document?
Bleed refers to an extra 1/8” (. 125 in) of image or background color that extends beyond the trim area of your printing piece. The project is printed on an oversized sheet that is then cut down to size with the appearance that the image is “bleeding” off the edge of the paper.

Why are there bleed margins on a template?
If you print words, logos or images all the way to the edges of your template, they will likely end up appearing slightly cut off in the final product. Understanding bleed margins help prevent this problem by expanding the text or image outside of the designated printed area, resulting in a polished and professional final product.
How big should the margins be on a letter?
Due to rounding off, settings may be off by 0.01in or 0.01cm. This is within acceptable tolerance of publishers’ guidelines. Should I prepare document in “Letter” or “A4” size? Initial submissions (for review purposes only) may be prepared using either US Letter or A4 paper size.

What does it mean when a bleed line is near the margin?
