Attached is image sample, its 600dpi. It's a bit tricky: I need retain existing
image resolution and size of all artwork and text inside that rounded card, the
size of image is a little smaller than the size of green bleed line. So, in
order to get edge to edge printing, I want extend only backround to all 4 sides
of image to cover bleed line.
