I have now: \def\bleed{3mm} \def\maxWidth{\dimexpr(\paperwidth+\bleed)} \definefloat[bleedfigure][figure] \setupfloat[bleedfigure] [ outermargindistance=-\bleed, % does that exist? leftmargindistance=-\bleed, rightmargindistance=-\bleed, default={cutspace,none}, maxwidth=\maxWidth ] \def\topfig#1#2{\placebleedfigure[top]{#1}{\offset[topoffset=\dimexpr(-\topspace-\bleed)]{\externalfigure[#2][width=\maxWidth]}}} With that my pictures start at 0,-3mm, but they should start at -3mm,-3mm on a left page. Their maximum width is only \paperwidth, without bleed. Where’s my mistake?
