We have a digital press, so there is always gonna be a little misalignment on the scale of hundreths of a millimeter, but lining up the paper in the cutter, i just get it as flush as i ca by hand before using a wodden block to get it tighter. Normal paper usually does a good job of staying put, but glossy coasted paper is slocker than hell and always jostles about. But even the large operations still use bleed because it’s way cheaper and easier to trim off the excess than try to fuck with that sort of precision. Like how in theory a grocery store could give you exactly one pound of ground beef, but the equipment and time needed to do that are so cost prohibited that they just give you an approximate amount and charge you accordingly.
