"Ink bleeding" refers to the ink's tendency to spread on its own due to the capillary action of the paper. If the ink spreads too much, your text or image will get blurred. Each type of paper has the ability to retain a certain amount of ink. If the paper becomes oversaturated, the ink will have nowhere to go and is likely to run or stain the next page if two are pressed together. For this reason, we limit the volume of ink to be used by setting specific percentages for each color (ex. 100% Cyan, 30% Yellow, 10% Magenta, 5% Black). To avoid ink bleeding, make sure the sum of the percentages for every colour does not exceed the ink limit (also called %ink or TAC limit) for your printer or press.
