When creating a symmetric or asymmetric bleed, you can use the Clip at Bleed Edge check box to define whether QuarkXPress uses the bleed value to clip items:

• If Clip at Bleed Edge is checked, QuarkXPress prints all layout page items and pasteboard items that are at least partially within the bleed rectangle, and QuarkXPress uses the bleed values to clip items.
• If Clip at Bleed Edge is unchecked, QuarkXPress prints all layout page items and pasteboard items that are at least partially within the bleed rectangle, and does not clip such items unless they extend beyond the limits of the printing device’s imageable area. Pasteboard items that are not within the bleed rectangle do not print.
