Changing the colors of crop marks

Hi guys.
I´m printing a small job off a inkjet printer and the paper I´m using is black.
So, is there a way to change color of the corner crop marks?
Thank you.

I've never had need nor found a way to change the color from black myself, and I recall another question similar to yours in which the answerer stated it couldn't be done.  Unfortunately the forum search feature seems to be broken at the moment.
You could, of course, create your own image that's a bit larger than your print size, complete with black background and white or colored crop marks, then paste your image over it as a second layer.  I realize that's nowhere near as convenient as just ticking the checkbox in the print dialog.
Out of curiosity, what kind of inkjet/inks can print on black paper?  Sounds like you could get some really cool effects, and I haven't heard of it before.

  • Changing the Color of Crop and Bleed Marks from Registration to Black

    Hello all,
    I have been searching the web and have tried numerous things but I can't seem to solve this problem.  In InDesign crop marks and bleed marks are printed in "Registration" color.  I understand why that is needed for plate printing.  However I am laser printing and I need those marks to be in "Black" color.  I have tried to edit the cropmark script by changing "Registration" to "Black" on the line with myRegColor.  I have tried changing the printer setting to "Pure Black".  However I can't get the crop and bleed marks to print in "Black".   I have been on various websites and while there are people asking the question I haven't found a answer that works.  I have searched this community as well but haven't found an answer that I understand.  Before I manually make crop marks I want to make sure I am not missing something completely obvious. 
    With laser printing there is a different charge for color and B&W.  The fact that the crop marks are coming in as color and not black means B&W pages are counted as color in the printing cost.  I have tested the same docuement (which was just one page full of sample black text) with and without crop/bleed marks.  When the document is printed without the marks the printer clicks as a B&W page.  When it is printed with the marks the printer click as a color page. 
    I am creating the doc in InDesign and exporting to Acrobat for printing.  I am using Creative Cloud so I think I have the most up to date version of InDesign.
    Any help would be much appreciated.  Thanks.

    With CS6 or later you can export to grayscale and in that case the crops will be black only. Like this:
    You should set your Appearance of Black to Rich black otherwise 100% black CMYK might export to something less than 100% grayscale. When you check the PDF in Acrobat set the simulation profile to the grayscale profile you export to.

  • How do I change the alignment of crop marks?

    When exporting a document as a PDF the crop marks are automatically aligned with the edge of the document, but I need to move them a couple of millimetres in to account for the bleed.
    I can't find any options where I can change this. The only option I can see is 'offset' but that just varies the actual distance of the crop marks from the document.
    I'm sure it's something really obvious but I'm going nuts here. Any help would be great. Thanks.

    Why not make the document the cut size and set the bleed in the document? That's out of box and standard.
    Alternately you can use the Crop Marks script found in the Scripts panel and make boxes in your document's cut size, crop marks based on their bounds.

  • I can't change the color of the check mark stamp

    I am using Adobe Acrobat XI.  I have the Annotations panel open and am trying to change the color of the check mark stamp.  If I right click a check mark stamp and go to properties then on the appearance tab I can see a place to change the color.  However if I change the color then I do not see the change go into effect on the check mark.  If I change the opacity then I do see the change.  I also noticed that if I resize the check mark then I cannot make the new size the default even if I check the "locked" or "make properties default" boxes.

    Hi Johnny,
    You cannot change the color of a stamp: The stamp designer selected the colors that are used for a stamp. You may get the impression that you can change it because there is a color selector on the properties bar when you select a stamp. That color selection however is only for the popup note that is associated with the stamp, and not the stamp itself.
    Stamps always come in at 100% of their size. You would need to create a new dynamic stamp at your required size.

  • How do you change the color of events on ICal.

    How do you changed the color of events on ICal? I was able to do this when I utilized ICal on the Snow Leopard system but can no longer do this with Lion.
    I know that I can select the Calanders list, but when I create a new "Calander" it doesn't allow me to choose a color and it doesn't show up in my list when working within an event.
    Thanks!

    Phoebe,
    Right-click on the new calendar and select "Get Info."
    Make sure that the ✓ mark is selected.
    Then choose the color from this pane:

  • Can you change the color of selected text in word?

    I use Word 2010, and when I select text it is always blue, is there a way to change the color?

    I use Word 2010, and when I select text it is always blue, is there a way to change the color?
    My earlier posting was an error.
    I apologize.
    You seem to be saying that the default colour for text is blue.
    You need to change:-
    Normal.dotm
     - to change the default colour of text.
    In order to change the default colour of text take the following steps (that were tested on Windows 7 and Office 2007 - the process should be
    similar, if not identical, for yourself):-
    1. Open a new blank document (this should
    have the default text as blue).
    Save that document with a new name for example:-
    c:\word\testing_aug_25_2014_2
    2. In the above document:-
    Insert tab
    Text group
    Click on the drop down arrow to the lower right of:-
    Quick Parts
     - then click on:-
    Field . . .
    The:-
    Field
     - window should open.
    3. In the:-
    Field
     - window in the field called:-
    Field names:
     - scroll down to:-
    Template
     - and click on that option so that it's highlighted in blue.
    Now, towards the top right hand corner of the same window, click in the box called:-
    Add path to file name
     - so that it has a tick (check mark) in that box.
    Click:-
    OK
    The file name of the template should now be inserted into your document.
    On my machine this was:-
    C:\Users\user_name\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Templates\Normal.dotm
    The above path might be different for you.
    4. I saved my document at this point.
    5. Now open the file called:-
    C:\Users\user_name\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Templates\Normal.dotm
    A document should open on your screen (still with blue text) and with:-
    Normal.dotm
    - in the middle of the Title Bar at the top of the screen.
    Highlight all of the text in the document so that it's (for example) black.
    Save the file.
    6. Close all open documents in WORD and
    close WORD itself.
    7. Now open a new document and its default
    text should be set to the colour that you applied at step 5. above (I used black at that point).
    Does that resolve your problem?

    Hi there
    Sorry, but your post seemed to initially infer you were just referring to a Button you would insert on a page. At least that's what I understood when I posted with what I did.
    Now it would seem you are referring to the Playback Controls that Captivate supplies? So either I grossly misunderstood your initial issue or you are now switching gears and asking about something different.
    What I posted earlier does not apply to the Captivate Playback Controls.
    Cheers... Rick

  • Have a "sphere" with gradients, how do I change the colors?

    I have an Illustrator file of a sphere though its not technically a sphere.  Its a circle but when clicked, the frame edges that show on it seems to show is as being one, really dont know how to describe this.  Its best to look at the attached screen shot.  There are gradients also involved.  Normally I would just change out the swatches but no swatches were saved for it.  I have a better than average understanding of Illustrator and vector files but this one is throwing me for a loop.  How would I go about changing the colors of the gradients in this?

    Wade_Zimmerman wrote:
    Select the object, then select the gradient panel click the marker you want to change then option click a color or swatch you want it to change to.
    There you are.
    But first check with the appearance panel by first selecting the art and the in the appearance panel see if it has a 3D effect.
    BY the way if you want to let us see you screenshot click on the camera icon and attache the file that way.
    under Appearance, I have "Mesh Points" and "Mixed Appearances".  Nothing seems to be grouped so i cant seem to separate what those mixed appearances are.
    I looked at the gradient panel.  It does show dark to light orange but it doesnt show any little tabs to adjust or if its liner or radial.

  • How to change the color of radius for point features

    Hi forum
    When using the addPointFeature() in MapViewer, you can specify a double[] radius a parameter to get a circle drawn around the point. Problem is, this circle is always red, I can't find any way to change the color to black or other color.
    Is there any way to do this? I'm looking for some way to add a circle "feature" like addPolygonFeature. I also tried to add define a marker circle style and add it to a PolygonFeature, but this doesn't seem to work. Any better way to do this?
    Thanks,
    Jacob

    Hi Jacob,
    what you have tried won't work. You are just rendering a marker on the center of the polygon coordinates. The corrdinates array must be the circle points, and the style should be a line style (if you want just to draw the circle border) or a fill (color for example) style.
    // build coordinates with circle points
    mv.addPolygonFeature(coordinates, 0, "line_style", null, null, true);
    The number of points on the circle may depend on your zoomlevel, and will depend on your application.
    There is another way to generate this circle, and you won't need to care about the circle points. You could try to use the sdo_geom.sdo_buffer to generate the circle around the point clicked. Basically you need to create a jdbc theme with a SQL statement having the buffer method. For example you can try this request using MapViewer web page and the demo data set.

  • How to display the actual reading alone the dot and conditional change the color of the dot/figure if it is over / below an alert figure

    Hi,
    Please help on how to achive the subjected... Thanks

    Hi,
    You have to explain your problem clearly with as much details as possible including the version of the SQL you are using so that everyone here can understand. From the title of your post it looks like that you want to change the color of the data series
    marker (the dot in the picture above) in a SSRS chart.
    If I have understood you correctly then here is how you can do it.
    1. Select the data series properties. Select and right click on the line in the chart in design mode. Then click on "Series Properties" and go to the properties tab for "Markers". Under "Marker Color" drop down select the expression
    and set the expression as shown in the picture. Replace "Field!Qty.Value" with appropriate field and the criteria for the upper and lower bound you want with their respective color.
    2. You can see in the snapshot below that the color of January Month has changed to Red since the qty value is less than 300 as set in the expression above.

    To change the color mode click on it, for example, to change from Grayscale to RGB color, click on the RGB Color menu item.
