Spanish term or phrase: Cortes
Further to my previous question, again in the technical details of how a book has been published at a Spanish publishing hosue, it lists the following categories:

Formato
Contenido
Interior
Cubiertas
Encuadernación
Manipulación: ***cortes*** de cada volume de distinto colour.

Not sure a literal "cuts" is the right term here.

Trimming
Explanation:
Maybe it's this:

Book trimming - Wikipediaen.wikipedia.org › wiki › Book_trimming
Book trimming is the stage of the book production process in which the page edges of a book are trimmed so that all pages will stack with perfect edge alignment within the finished book jacket. The step before book trimming is the binding of the folded printing sheets.
