Backed Up When the reverse of a sheet is printed. See Work & Turn.
Bank
A lightweight paper, usually less than 60gsm.
Bleed
Printed area which extends off the trimmed area.
It is not possible to print all the way to the edge of the paper sheet. To achieve this effect it is necessary to print a larger area than is required and then trim the paper down. Typically a designer would allow an extra 3mm of bleed to colour and image areas to allow for a little leeway when trimming.
Blind Embossing
A type of embossing where no ink is used. The design or text is only visible as a raised area on the paper.
Bond
A basic paper, often used for copying or laser printers. The better quality bond papers, with higher rag content, can be used for letterheads.
Offset Posters
The most cost effective way to print large quantities of posters is with an offset printing press.
