Andy Far Out Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 Hi, I want to include score marks in a PDF, and the printer wants them to be like the crop (bleed) marks, i.e. outside the design. See attached in lieu of the red arrows. How can I make those? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Dan C Posted October 7, 2019 Staff Share Posted October 7, 2019 Hi Andy Far Out Unfortunately Affinity doesn't currently support custom print marks, although we'd like to include this option in a future update. I don't personally know of any workarounds for this, however other forums users may be able to weigh in here, apologies I cannot help further! Quote Please note - I am currently out of the office for a short while whilst recovering from surgery (nothing serious!), therefore will not be available on the Forums during this time. Should you require a response from the team in a thread I have previously replied in - please Create a New Thread and our team will be sure to reply as soon as possible. Many thanks!

Fixx Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 Sure you can draw items manually outside design and they are visible in the bleed area. You can increase bleed value if you need more space for marks. Dan C 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

orangefizz Posted May 16, 2023 Share Posted May 16, 2023 Yeah I had the bleed included; problem was the artwork extended as far as the score lines. I increased the bleed & score lines and voila!
