Modern desktop printers are small technical wonders, but many can’t print to the edges of the sheet (a full bleed). They leave a distracting white border that is undesigned and undesignable. So instead of fighting it, amplify the white space, and make it part of your designs. This 18-page article from issue 40 of Before&After Magazine teaches you how to design around the distracting white border that many inexpensive printers leave around the edges of your page .
The surest way to eliminate the white border is to make more white. Reducing your live matter visually disconnects it from the edge of the page.
