Bleed Units

Type or illustrative matter not intended to bleed must be kept 10mm from the trim edge.

Facing Pages (Spread)

Type or illustrative matter on facing pages should not be closer than 2mm to the spine on each page which provides 4mm total separation. Any image exceeding this area could possibly be lost in the center, producing an unsatisfactory result.

2. The Publisher reserves the right to match second and fifth colors by using process inks.

3. TIME reserves the right to crop up to 5mm from either side of bleed material to compensate for trim variations.
