Can do. "Bleed" refers to a print job that goes to the edges of the document. For example, if you wanted to print an entire 8 1/2 by 11 piece of paper the color blue, it would have to be set up as a bleed on a larger piece of paper, as the printer is not exact enough to print exactly to the edges of the paper. Typically, you have to extent your document slightly over its edges (if you are working at 5 x 5 inches and need to bleed, you might set your document to an extra 1/4 inch on each side, making the document 5.5 x 5.5 inches. It is then printed, and trimmed down to the desired 5 x 5 inches. I'm not sure how well I'm explaining this, if you want more info let me know.
