Bleed
The printed area which extends off the trimmed area.
It is not possible to print all the way to the edge of a sheet of paper or disc. To achieve this effect, it is necessary to print a larger area than is required and then trim the paper down. When producing discs, the bleed will ensure your artwork sits in the print templates correctly and attains the maximum print area possible, leaving no white marks. Typically a designer would allow an extra 3mm of bleed to allow for a little leeway when trimming.
Burn
Term used to describe the process of writing data onto a CD-R or DVD-R.
