Crop Marks...etc Do Not Print

When outputting film to the rip or laser printer the crop marks and register marks will not print. Even if you add gutter to the job and create your own marks and color them with register black. They also will not output. Using CS6 and CC versions.

I'm going to recheck this though since it's possible I had no other K in the file besides the reg marks.
Yep, my bad. There was no K on the page other than the K componenet of Registration. When I add anything with K I get marks on 4 plates.
That implies that there is no bug, and that there is some problem specific to cookie duster's system. I'd say the first order of business would be to try a prefs replacement. See Replace Your Preferences

Microsoft 2013 Office programs (Excel, Word, Powerpoint, etc.) not printing and stop working

Hi,
I just recently installed MS Office 2013 Pro and I cannot seem to make the printing option work. I have tried doing it on Word, Excel and Powerpoint but to no avail. Whenever I choose/click the Print option the program just stops working with a message "Microsoft
Excel/Word/Powerpoint has stopped working". I installed the most recent driver for the HP Laserjet 2200 and still not working.
Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!!

Hi,
If we try to print a PDF file, will it work properly? Please also try to change the default printer to test the problem if you have another printer.
We can also try to run a repair of your Office installation and then try to print again to check the result. See:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-in/outlook-help/repair-office-programs-HA010357402.aspx
Additionally, try to uninstall and reinstall the printer driver to check if it helps.
Please let me know the result.

Acrobat 9 - Currently a PDF I have crossed out text, highlighted, utilized Text Box Tool, etc. will not print with those edits.

The original, unedited pdf prints without the edits I have made. Used to be able to and can no longer do so. Any suggestions?

In the Print dialog, make sure that under "Comments & Forms" you select
"Document and Markups".

Printer/Crop Mark Question

Hi all,
I searched through the topics and found a post that was
talking about the crop mark. I have the same problem here, whenever
i go to print>freehand MX>advanced, all that i find is just a
small window called "print preview" that's it. There's no
separations, paper setup, imaging, etc. I tried to open the same
dialog at my school and it has those features.

It's OS X and yes, i installed the drivers (I own Epson R1800
and HP Psc 1200 series) and then add them using printer setup
utility. I also use apple airport express to print wirelessly.
My questions:
1. Does it have to be a post-script printer to have those
features? (imaging, crop marks, etc)
2. Does printing wirelessly affect this on Freehand MX?
(doesn't affect my adobe cs2 applications though)
3. What can i do/try to have those features?
p.s. I read about the Xtra but i'm trying to get my Freehand
"fixed" here =)
Thank you
Harry

Thr crop marks will not show unless you have a postscript
printer. If you are sending the job to a commercial printer they
will insert crop marks. If you are printing yourself and require
crop marks you can insert them with a PDF making application such
as Adobe Acrobat Professional. If you don't have that there is an
open source application called PDF maker which you can download at
www.freedomleague.org.za or at least find a link from that
site.

Booklet .pdf with crop marks, booklet doesn't fit the current paper size warning

Hello. I am on XP using CS4 InDesign.
I have the document set up as 4 pages, each 8.5 x 11, however, when creating a booklet .pdf, I mean it to be 2 pages 11x17.
When I add in the crop marks they do not appear on the .pdf when it is created. I receive a warning in the booklet diaglog that the booklet doesn't fit the current paper size and it says to specify a larger paper size.
What can I do to have the crop marks on my file? I understand the .pdf will be a little larger than 11x17 in order to fit the crop marks.
Thanks for any help in advance.

Hi Peter,
Thank you. I did try that first, but now I figured out what I did wrong. When the .pdf was made and opened, I cropoped the page according to the marks, but the page remained 12 x 18 instead of 11x17. I made sure that the "automatically adjust to fit marks and bleeds" and "use document bleed settings" was checked in the booklet dialog and print InDesign dialog.
When I cropped the page again to make sure I sized it correctly, it was 11x17.
Thank you!!!

Test: Using Crop marks in indesign CS4 with Epson 3800 Mac 10.5.7

Jun 19, 2009 9:35 PM
Crop marks using indesign CS4 with Epson 3800 Mac 10.5.7
My crop marks and pages are printing larger than my document sizes. My paper size is 13x19, so I should have crop marks at the exact corners of the page sizes. But indesign is printing the entire document larger. So my document which is 11x14.75 is now printing 11.25x15.5. All my settings are correct. So, is anyone else using an Epson 3800 with CS4 indesign having issues such as the above? And can I ask (beg) a few of you to do a test print with crop marks and let me know the results?
My workflow has been completely stalled because I can't get my pages to print the right sizes with the crop marks at the right measurements. I'm printing a photo portfolio on the Lumijet double sided paper and "when" it did work awhile back sometime several months ago, the finals looked great. I've already reinstalled both the Epson 3800 driver and the Indesign CS4 software, but the results are still the same.
So, here are my settings:
document size: 11x14.75
in the print panel:
Printer: Epson 3800
Setup: Paper size: Super A3/B13x19, scale 100% width & height, page position Centered
Marks & Bleed: Marks: "Crop Marks" checked. offset: 0, weight: .25, Bleed and Slug: Use Document bleed settings, include slug area. The bleed is 0 for top, bottom, left and right
Color Management: Document profile: Adobe RGB, Options: Indesign handles colors, Printer Profile: (A custom made profile using Xrite for the 3800 with Lumijet paper)
The settings on the Epson 3800
Epson 3800 Printer
Presets (set for the profile mentioned above)
No Color management
Sometimes, on a whim, the printer and indesign cooperate together like good little children should. But not often. And I can not conclude why they are nice to each other sometimes, but given the same detailed data at other times, they fight.
If anyone could run through a similar process using indesign with a photo layout and setting up the printer settings for both the Epson 3800 and in the indesign program and let me know their results, I would value your conclusions very much. You don't even have to waste paper or ink. Finally, after wasting so many pages of paper and of ink. I deleted the photos from the page, and printed it blank with only the crop marks for me to measure if it was coming out right or not.
Thank you for any response. And feel free to call me if you want to vent about Epson 3800's or about Indesign CS4 anytime! I'm up late.... 646 256 8853.

I specified the paper size as strictly 13x19, no boarderless, no retain size. Same problem. I also did as you suggested below. The pdf document does remain true to the document. As a pdf doc. I changed the color mgmt to Adobe rgb 1998. It looks okay, but not as lively as I get when printing correctly with my color mgmt working and in sync.
Your final question about simply using photoshop. Well... I might go back to it and give up on Indesign if this is the case that it won't simply crop my documents to the sizes that I input them to be cropped as. But, I am using Indesign so that I can create a page layout that I can't do in Photoshop. My folio is about 25 or more pages with double page spreads. I am printing on a two-sided Lumijet paper and my folio was custom designed to be cut out at 11x14.75. If and when it is printed correctly, I am printing on both sides of the paper and trimming it to exact size.
It sounds as if you have exhausted the potential problems and don't have a clear explanation for why the doc isn't printing correctly in Indesign either with the color mgmt. or the document sizes. I'll try one more print using a different color profile similar enough to get at minimum, an okay print. If it doesn't print at least okay, then it isn't most likely my profile..... Okay done. Crazy. The color is inaccurate, but for some reason or another, the document size printed correctly. It measured exactly 11x14.75. What I have done during this period of time is:
First) I did as you suggested and turned the Print to Adobe PDF 9 and created a print there. I measured it and it did measure correctly. I didn't love the color, but... at least it is measuring correctly.
Second) I turned the Printer back to Epson 3800 (I'm beginning to think that this simple gesture was what caused the printer to print correctly) I didn't change any settings, but I did make sure that they were set correctly as before. The paper size was set to 13x19. When I make sure this setting is right in the "printer" dialogue for the Epson 3800, and then switch back to ID, the printer dialogue in Id changes to "Define by Printer." But I changed nothing, other than the profile to an older one that I used before. The color is still inaccurate, but at least for two prints just now back to back, the measurements were correct. What to do? Lol.
Thanks again for all of your time spent trying to resolve this issue.
Sincerely,
Thaddeus

Crop marks, color management, .psd files

Hi.
Working in AI 10. Have XP. PS7
I have my color settings set at the North America Prepress 2 for every adobe program except AI 10 because it is not listed. I have it on the North America Prepress without the "2"
I have been told that if I create a PS document that needs crop marks, to simply place it into AI & create the crop marks there for the printer if I need to show bleeds.
When I print the AI file with crop marks, the color does not match the PS file printed.
Is there anything I can do?

And you've double-checked your color settings (not just the overall preset but the individual options)?
One way to make sure you have the same settings in both apps is to save out a color settings file (.csf) in one application and apply it in the other. Just hit the SAVE button in the color settings dialog and give your settings a unique name before saving it to a location that you can easily find again. In the corresponding dialog in your other application, use the LOAD button.
I have PS 7-10 and AI 8/10/12 on a machine here, so, just to make sure, I just did a quick test with a CMYK image with the same versions as you. I show no color shift whatsoever between the PSD opened in Photoshop and placed in Illustrator.
As to the jagged text, realize that you're not looking at editable text once you've placed the PSD in AI. It's just part of the raster image at that point. Therefore, it does not benefit from any AI text anti-aliasing. What you're seeing is the difference in on-screen raster anti-aliasing between PS 7 and AI 10. This does not affect the printout.
I'm sorry, but without seeing your settings, I have little else to suggest.
P.S. - I see you are comparing printouts from the two applications. Since you are working in CMYK, I assume you're printing to a PostScript device. If not, you might be looking at slight differences in the way PS 7 and AI 10 deal with sending CMYK data to an RGB device (such as a typical desktop inkjet printer).
If you
are printing to a PostScript proofer, I'd ask to see your print-time settings in both applications.
If your printing company wants the AI file, send it to them and ask them for a digital contract proof before committing to press.

Printer Friendly Pages is NOT printing what I want

So I tried to use the 'addthis' and added it to the main content div. However, lists, bullets, etc. are not printing as expected. I am seeing "code" for example if I try to print on the main page (though on the main page there is not a lot of 'content').
I could add it to the individual content page layouts, but it is still not printing summary links, or other lists the way that I want.
I just want to print the content on the page. I am thinking jquery or writing a CSS for print. I really want to use the addthis and this is making me think I did something wrong. Any ideas on the best approach for printing "printer friendly pages"
on SharePoint 2010?

Crop Marks Inaccurate and do not match document size.

8.5 x 11 acrobat file.
There is no scaling.
When printed to HP5500, or Xerox 7500, the crop marks measure 10.6 x 8.22.
This dimension changes depending on what STYLE of crop marks are selected in the ADVANCED section of the print dialog box.
This happens with Acrobat 7Pro and with Acrobat 9Pro.
This must be an issue with this file because it is repeatable on 2 different printers and with 2 versions of acrobat.
How does acrobat decide where to put the crop marks?
The DOCUMENT BOXES are:
Crop = 8.5x11
TrimBox = 7.99x10.34
BleedBox = 7.99x10.34
ArtBox = 7.99x10.34
So how may I output this file on an 12 x 18 sheet and have accurate crop marks print at 8.5 x 11?

I think whoever is generating the files is exporting or printing to pdf with a 1" oversize page setup. 8.5x11=9.5x12
Then someone else is cropping the file. How is the cropping done? We don't know. Using acrobat's crop tool? Using Pit Stop's crop tool? Another third party plug-in?
These files are actually only at a preflight stage. The order entry people need to see what it is and how to write it up for construction (business forms). They then see that crops marks are trimming into copy and alarm flags go off. The pdf is eventually placed into an indd template with the the called for construction. (perfs, stubs, punches, numbering etc.)
We rarely have positioning problems when we select "crop to trim" when importing.
Now the problem is if I set the document boxes to zero as I mentioned, the order entry people have the same but opposite problem. Inaccurate marks 1" LARGER than they are supposed to be.
The original post was 8.5 x 11 document but the art box,, the actual stuff on the page was 7.99x10.34. In that case I think the artist was being lazy and wanted to take an 8.5 x 11 and add bleed to it. The intent would have been to stretch distort the 7.99x10.34 to 8.5 x 11 when placing the pdf in indd. But none of this explaing why, when printing a pdf from acrobat, the marks we get on the paper (in some cases), do not match what we see on the screen or are not in the correct place. Where is acrobat getting the information to create these marks?

How do I print the guides on artwork so that Printer will see crop marks?

I designed a wedding invitation in Photoshop CS3 and I need to send him samples of the artwork. I wanted to show him where the Guides are located so that he'll know where to do his cuts. I thought that I could should him where those cuts would go by including the Guides on the artwork. I saved the artwork as a jpeg.

I did a quick online search and came up with the following.

Check it out and see if it helps. If not, please let me know.
I have seen advice not to use crop marks in CS3....printer automatically doing that and in some cases charges for removing them. But, I have not been there and done that, so...

Cannot print crop marks in Adobe Reader 9.4.2, 10.1

Printing from an A4 pdf to A3. Using a full version of Adobe 7 or 9.42. the crop marks appear but using Adobe Reader 9.4.2 and up no crop marks appear. Show art, trim, & bleed boxes is ticked. Does Adobe Reader print these marks?
Thanks in advance.

No difference in output using the latest version.
We are printing to Xerox WorkCentre 7425/7435 printers. When printing from a full version of Adobe Acrobat the advanced button of the Print Driver popup has check options for Marks under Marks and Bleeds while printing from Adobe Reader does not.

Crop Marks/Preparing to Print - PDF

Hello,
I have created a 250 page book in indesign. When I select "Package for Print", printers marks are not set. If I try just printing the book, I see where I can opt to print with printers marks, but they don't save on the file. When I go back to Package for print, they're not showing.
How can I create a PDF of the entire book that I can upload to a printing website (going to use Mimeo.com) WITH crop marks shown on that file? Mimeo only accepts PDF files.
I have CS5 on a Mac. Please be specific as to what instructions you give, as I'm new to this. Thanks!
Please help!! THanks!

Hi Bob,
Yes, its a book... well actually a planner...
I have CS5 (on a Mac). Can you give me specific instructions as to
where I'd find that? Any of the ways that I go to export a PDF, I
don't see those options available. Thanks!

Does a printer expect crop marks?

Hi! If I am sending something to a printer as a photoshop pdf, should I put crop marks? I've seen some people saying that it's their job as the printer to do that. I don't speak directly with the printing company so I can't just ask them, also I want to know if there is a standard for things like this. Thanks!

I'm not sure it can be helpful, since you're not printing direct to a printer, but do you know about these features of the Photoshop File - Print dialog? I was vaguely thinking maybe you could print to PDF or XPS or something along those lines...

Crop Marks, when applied, do not measure up

Illustrator CS6
Say I have a dieline that measure 8.0" x 10.0". When I apply crop marks to this dieline and measure the horizontal width of the crop mark on one side to the crop mark on the other side it gives me a width of 8.0042". Does anyone know why it does this? If I measure the vertical crop marks it gives me 10.0042". It's not a huge amount but when you're dealing with dieline packaging and your dieline says 8.0" and the crop marks are 8.0042" apart it affects the placement of other marks such as bleed, seals, folds, glue panels, etc. Thanks for any help!

When you removed the stroke you should have seen your crop marks (which is a live effect) move, unless you already expanded appearance.
Click on the image below to view at 100%. Both squares are 2 inch(becasue I have use preview bounds turned off in preferences), except the first square on has a black stroke, and the crop marks are to the outer edge of the stroke.
