This is the missing piece of the puzzle. I couldn’t figure out why my designs for Print on Demand all added a white border around the design in the mock-ups.

I guess I just need to make the size of the image bigger?

[Chris.]

What if you want to include all the image and dont have trim to use?

[Nerosus]

Good explanation, now I am just missing a way to fix this in Word. But if I understand this correctly, I have to set the size of the paper larger than a A4 (if that is what I am printing on)?

[fatimaalobeidly]

If What I’m going to print size is A6. What I’m supposed to do in photoshop. Do I have to choose size A6 and make what I want to print smaller for the bleed. Or make the sizes bigger than A6?

[gllphoto]

I think I get it now, so there is no way of not loosing a bit of a photo when printing them?

[NERO-ezmn]
