Bleed and Trim
Artwork running past the sheet edge is cropped inward as the trim box closes onto the finished page and the bleed band outside it falls away.

A densitometer window travels the control strip of tint patches at the sheet tail, raising each patch to its measured density column as it passes.
A tone response bows above the linear rule as dot gain opens a mid-tone gap, then the correction curve draws in beneath and pulls the response back onto the diagonal.
Screen dots on a fixed pitch swell from highlight to shadow across a tone wedge until the full halftone ramp stands.
Loose page rectangles slide in from the pasteboard and seat themselves into the printer's pairs of a press-sheet lay until the signature is complete.
A knockout aperture opens in the background panel beneath a placed shape and then closes again as the shape is set to overprint and the panel runs underneath it.
A composite pulls apart into four stacked plate outlines that step away from one another, each carrying only the elements that belong to it.
Preflight rules resolve down a report column one after another, each row drawing in its result mark while one returns a warning chevron instead of a tick.
Four plate crosshairs sitting off register close along their own axes until they coincide on a single registration target and the ring draws down around them.
A scan line crosses the frame and resolves a smooth vector contour into device pixels snapped to the output grid behind it.
Four separation screens swing out of one shared ruling to their own angles, settling into the rosette that keeps them from moiring.
A flat press sheet halves its width and then its height about the corner until a squared signature block with a spine remains.
A reveal edge crosses the page and the outline wireframe behind it is replaced line by line with the composed proof.
Four separation densities stack into a single coverage column that builds from the baseline and settles just under the total-area limit rule.
Two abutting shapes separated by a hairline register gap are trapped as an overlap band spreads from the seam and closes it.
