CUSTOM BLEEDS
Large Pasteboard integration with Bleed
Using Custom Bleeds
You can use Custom Bleeds to create bleeds when printing, saving a page as an EPS
file, exporting a layout as a PDF file. The procedure is similar for all of these output
options, but some bleed options are only available for certain output methods.
Print: The Bleed Type drop-down menu is in the Bleeds pane of the Print dialog •
box.
EPS: The Bleed Type drop-down menu is in the Save Page as EPS dialog box. •
When you save a page as an EPS file, the Page Items and Clip at Bleed Edge
options are not available. This is because these options create a bounding box
that includes any item extending off the page. This could result in a different
bounding box for every page in a layout, which could lead to inaccurate output.
PDF: The Bleed Type drop-down menu is in the Export as PDF dialog box. •
Using Clip at Bleed Edge
When creating a symmetric or asymmetric bleed, you can use the Clip at Bleed
Edge check box to define whether QuarkXPress uses the bleed value to clip items:
If Clip at Bleed Edge is checked, QuarkXPress prints all layout page items and •
pasteboard items that are at least partially within the bleed rectangle, and
QuarkXPress uses the bleed values to clip items.
If Clip at Bleed Edge is unchecked, QuarkXPress prints all layout page items and •
pasteboard items that are at least partially within the bleed rectangle, and does
not clip such items unless they extend beyond the limits of the printing device’s
imageable area. Pasteboard items that are not within the bleed rectangle do not
print.
If you store items on the pasteboard, make sure they are placed outside the bleed 
rectangle when using a symmetric or asymmetric bleed. If they are within the bleed
rectangle, pasteboard items may print on final output.
