printing

[georgia]

I have set a background on Publisher. However, Print preview shows the white
surrounding margins. I want to have this professionally printing where it
looks like the color runs off of the page. How do I do this?

 

[Rob Giordano \(Crash Gordon®\)]

Most home printers can't print a bleed. Print houses will also charge a little more for a bleed since there's more press clean up.

So could I set the margins as far out as possible and then have them trimmed?
If so, how do I set the margins?

That may be the cheapest method...set page size bigger...use crop marks...bring it to Kinkos (if your not printing too many) have them print and/or cut them

I'm not sure if Kinko's copiers can print a bleed or not though...maybe the can come close.

Depends on what you're doing and how many you need.

Which is why you need to discuss things like this with your printer before
you get too far into the project.

If you want to do this at home, the only work around with printing a
bleed/extending your margins would be to print on oversized paper, then
trim.

That would be my brother...he's been a great help to me in learning the interaction between program & ink.

Cool. I too have a good relationship with my printer. Not a relative, but I
deal with a local printer who is more than willing to work with me on my
projects. And in exchange for that, I recommend them to anyone who needs a
printer.

Unless you have a Canon "I" or Pixma model printer. They all do full bleed.

Unless you're planning to have the background printed as a single color, you
would need to provide the file to the printer so that they can either do the
color separation or use the file directly if you have already set it up as
color separated. They will then print on oversize sheets and trim to the
final size. Bottom line is to discuss this with your printer before
proceeding any further.

True. New entry level printers are offering this technology. I am out of the
loop on new printers. I don't use inkjets/deskjets any longer (however, my
home printer is an HP Photosmart P1000 Deskjet), I use all Laser at work,
both color and b/w. None of those offer bleed either.
