First Time Ordering Sticker Sheets

I really like the quality of the stickers! Unhappy with the amount of bleed around each sticker. It made the spacing look terrible. I rejected the proof originally saying I didn't like how much white was around each sticker. Response sounded like it was the minimum amount a bleed to ensure image isn't cut off. Wish they would have asked me to remove the white border around each of my images if they were just going to add another large border. I have ordered sticker sheets from other businesses and they used my bleed lines and I really liked the look of their sheeets better. I have 50 cat sticker sheets that I am not satisfied with. Learning experience. Expensive trying to figure out how to print off my art.
