Joachim_L Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 (edited) I try to print a document 960 mm x 2000 mm to a HP 750 on a A4 sheet with Fit or Shrink to Printable. Seems to be fine as far I can judge it from the preview. When I include crop marks the print out is larger than the paper, which normally is indicated with a red overlay. Attached you can see this effect on the screenshot and finally it prints without the crop marks. This printout works when I manually type in the scale value. EDIT: For those needing decimal values for scaling. Although the value is rounded up to 14% in the input box when typing in e.g. 13,5%, the output is printed at the correct size.

Staff Gabe Posted March 24, 2021 Staff Share Posted March 24, 2021 Hi @Joachim_L This is by design. Print marks are not part of the document content. When you fit/shrink/scale, do it for the document and not document + marks. Any marks are added around this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could argue that a bleed of 3 mm around an A4 is also not part of the document content as the A4 document is specified as 210 x 297 mm and not as 216 x 303 mm. I would bet ID is not the only layout application that shrinks documents WITH crop marks.

Staff Gabe Posted March 24, 2021 Staff Share Posted March 24, 2021 I think it's a grey area what it should or should not do. Photoshop for example does not shrink it - same behaviour as our suite. That's why I moved it in the feature requests section. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
