Print media with untrimmed print gaps

A printed base paper sheet with multiple forms, each form having a full bleed border, a full bleed background, a simulated full bleed border or a simulated full bleed background, said base paper sheet having at least one print gap of a size in the range of 1/8" to 2/3",

• wherein said simulated full bleed border or simulated full bleed background comprises a fractal graphic with a non-linear outer edge that provides a visual effect of perfect edge alignment when the base sheet of multiple forms is cut into separate forms along the edges of said simulated full bleed border or simulated full bleed background, and
• wherein full bleed border or full bleed background comprises a non-fractal full bleed graphic and a fractal graphic with a non-linear outer edge that provides a visual effect of perfect edge alignment when the base sheet of multiple forms is cut into separate forms along the edges of said full bleed border or full bleed background.

A finished printed single form comprising a paper sheet with a simulated full bleed border or a simulated full bleed background which is printed as base sheet of multiple forms with at least one print gap, wherein said printed single form is cut from said base sheet of multiple forms without trimming off the print gaps between forms and wherein said simulated full bleed border or simulated full bleed background comprises a fractal graphic with a non-linear outer edge.

A process for preparing single forms with a border or background comprising a fractal graphic, said method comprising

• a) printing a base sheet of multiple forms by a lithographic printing process with at least one gap between forms, each form having a border or background comprising a fractal graphic which does not have a linear outer edge, and
• b) cutting single forms from the base sheet without trimming the gaps between forms.

A finished printed single form comprising a paper sheet with border or background comprising a fractal graphic with a non-linear outer edge, wherein said printed single form is printed as a base sheet of multiple forms with at least one gap between forms and is cut from said base sheet of multiple forms without trimming of the gaps between forms.
