<div>As such bleeding the same colour as the background would not be such a good idea. The page needs to go inside the bleed.</div>
<div><br>I found a way to 'cheat'. Apparently the page starts and ends right in the middle of the crop mark. So if you do a crop mark that's 4mm wide, then the required effect is achieved. However, the result is confusing to printers because with such a wide cropmark, they wouldn't know where they need to cut, even though it may be obvious to us.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I basically need to achieve the result of the below but with 1px cropmarks starting right at the inside edge of the cropmarks that these will produce:</div>
<div> </div>
<div> <xsl:processing-instruction name="xep-pdf-crop-mark-width">4mm</xsl:processing-instruction><br> <xsl:processing-instruction name="xep-pdf-crop-offset">14mm</xsl:processing-instruction><br>
<xsl:processing-instruction name="xep-pdf-bleed">0mm</xsl:processing-instruction><br> <xsl:processing-instruction name="xep-pdf-bleed-mark-width">0mm</xsl:processing-instruction><br>
<xsl:processing-instruction name="xep-pdf-printer-mark">url('C:\Program Files\RenderX\XEP\images\colorbar.svg')</xsl:processing-instruction><br> <xsl:processing-instruction name="xep-pdf-printer-mark">url('C:\Program Files\RenderX\XEP\images\registration.svg')</xsl:processing-instruction><br>
<xsl:processing-instruction name="xep-pdf-linearize">false</xsl:processing-instruction><br></div>
<div> </div>
<div> </div>
<div>This would give a 2mm bleed around and would put a smile on the printers' faces :)<br></div>

<br>When printing and trimming it is usual to stretch the artwork past the edge of the final canvas size so that when you trim you can guarantee not to see the white substrate at the edge (given the tolerances on many guillotines leave much to be desired). For this to work, XEP must have the ability to overflow the edge of the final artwork with a bleed of the same colour as the background or, more usefully, allow the placement of anything you want outside the crop box of the pdf (so you can place images, vector graphics etc. over the crop edge). Generally we need about a 2 or 3mm bleed on each edge.<br>
