We have had many questions about what is a "full bleed" print. This is a major factor in digital scrapbooking, both for the designer as well as the customer. Here goes....

Full Bleed: Printing term used when an image or inked area extends to the edge of all four sides of the printed piece. Better known as "borderless" .
“Any printer, regardless of the type of printer, cannot print a border-less 12x12 without cutting something off. The area that is going to be cut off is called a bleed. There is a lot of discussion about bleed in the scrapbook communities, because people want exactly what they design.
The problems that are the most apparent come into play when designs have very small edges or borders on the outside of the print. These cause problems because a 1/16th trim on one edge and a 1/32 trim on another (caused by paper feed or print head alignment) make these borders look uneven. These can easily be fixed just by adjusting your border size. If you have larger borders 1/4” we can adjust the print position (a small 1/16" or smaller edge is still trimmed) and no visible cut is noticed.
We pride ourselves in providing the best print on the market. We use the most Archival Paper (fuji crystal archive) and have the highest quality printer which we specifically optimize for scrapbook pages our optimization (sharpening and contrast adjustments) along with a minimal trim provide the best print possible."

Aperture like shutter speed and ISO is a light control and is tied to them in picture taking.
For any given shutter speed and ISO there is only one correct aperture for a given effect.

More critical use of aperture is done when we worry about depth of field

Depth of field is the distance in front of and behind you subject which is still sharp
1/3 of the depth of field is in front of your focusing point 2/3 of your depth of field falls
behind your focusing point.

Smaller numbers represent a larger opening which lets in more light and will give you
faster shutter speeds. Larger numbers are a smaller hole thus you get slower shutter
speeds. Smaller numbers give you a smaller depth of field. Larger numbers give you a
larger depth of field.

Portraiture is typically done using a small aperture setting to blur the background

The closer you get to the subject the easier it is to blur the background. And the harder it
is to get the background clear.

If your subject is on a flat plane (wall behind subject) you will have a hard time bluring
the background

Smaller cameras have an easier time making the background clear, but a harder time
blurring the background. (hint: Get close)

Aperture can be used to control shutter speed, and can also be used to create star filter
effects at night.
