Joachim_L Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 You have to enable the printer marks. You find them under the button More.

lacerto Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 OP probably wanted to have just crop marks, since it seems that the bleed marks are not supported by Affinity apps (at least not in Publisher). If bleed marks are really needed, they need to be drawn manually, which means that also crop marks need to be drawn manually. This is because you need to increase the area beyond page format to be able to add any own marks outside of the docment bleed area (where it it is safe to add notes and custom marks), as there is no support for separate slug area in Affinity apps. (UPDATE: Internal crop marks can be used but they would be placed outside of the increase bleed area, and the distance might cause problems even if the page format is correctly marked.) Attached .afpub and pdf demonstrate this, and also show how InDesign handles bleed marks and the slug area automatically allowing user-defined measures, and also support setting for the offset for the marks. EDIT: The .afpub document is included to demonstrate how the bleed area is increased to 10 mm for each side to be able to add custom marks and "slug" areas notes, which means that automatical crop marks cannot be used (as they would be drawn at 10 mm distance from the corners of the document format). printermarks_afpub.pdf printermarks_id.pdf printermarks.afpub Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HenrikZ Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 I can not see where to add printer marks. See attached screenshot of (1) Export Settings (2) More. Anyone got an idea why? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
