How to add Japanese crop marks to Indesign?

Upon exporting files, there is a dropdown menu that says "Type," but there is only default. How do I add Japanese cropmarks (I think they are called Tombo.mrk) to indesign?

It's an older article, but there is a download for them on this page:

Using Japanese Crop Marks

I just downloaded the japanese crop marks from Indesign Secrets, saved them in the folder "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\PrintSpt" I've been using those files since CS3 but for some reason it is no longer working for CS6? Can anyone confirm this?

Thanks for your replies, I have ran the update on my illustrator and am now running 16.0.4 (as shown in screen shot) but still do not have this option.
Are you running English CS6 or ME version? We use ME version but Japanese trims were available in CS4 and 5 ME I am just confussed as to why they would take this option away from just the ME version. I have a English copy so I am going to run an update on that and see if I get a different result.

Japanese Crop Marks illustrator CS6

The setting to 'use japanese cropmarks' has been removed from the general settings in illustrator CS6. Any suggestions as to how I can get these back? I want them on my artwork not added at print. I have an Action to add them to my cutter profiles in CS4 and CS5 but this no longer works in 6 as the Japanese Crop Mark setting has been removed. I therefore only get corner trims and not center marks.

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

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

How to add a scale marker in PS CS4 standard? how to update PS extended?

I just installed PS CS4 standard. I found that I needed to have its extended one to add a scale marker in the microscope images.
Please let me know how to add a scale marker with PS CS4 starndard. Or, please let me know how to upgrade it to PS CS4 Extended.
Thanks,

Here's the instructions for Scale markers: Photoshop Help | Measurement (Photoshop Extended)
Now for the not so good news. You need Photoshop Extended, but the CS4 version is no longer sold.
You can either purchase CS6 Extended, Creative Suite 6 (which is over two years old and is no longer updated) or have latest Photoshop as part of the Creative Cloud Photography plan | Adobe Creative Cloud. Photoshop will always have the latest upgrades and versions and it is all "extended", no "standard" here. Run it on Mac or PC, and in many interface languages at no extra charge.
Hope you find something that will work for you.

You need the InDesign forum.

Easy question, I hope: how do I set crop marks?

I just want to specify where the bleed will be. Thaaank you.

in the print dialog box you can grab the Color Managment drop down and get to the output options.
set your bleed and turn on the Crop Marks toggle and you will be able to see where you bleed marker is landing.

How to Add a page Item in Indesign Library Panel

Hi All,
I am trying to add page Item in Indesign Library Panel using
ILibraryCmdUtils::ProcessLibraryAddItemCmd()
But it shows the message of Heap corrupt while processing the commmand.
Can any one help me out with some code snippet ?
Pete. M. Mitchel

Hi,
Iwas also suffering fro the same problem.
Better to use "ILibrarySuite::DoAddToLibrary()" method.
Hope it will help you.

How to add a flex marker on the right edge?

When I place the pointer over or beside a left edge I can change left edge.
The audio material is time compressed up to the preceding flex marker when I move the left marker to the right.
If I place the pointer over or beside a right edge and move to the left all region is compressed.
It looks like I cant create the marker at the beginning edge of the region on the right.
In Logic Pro 9 it works great. Is it bug LPX? Or should I change some preferences?
Thanks for any help.
(See animated gif)

Hi,
First try to find out if you already have that field available in your view configuration. If yes, then you just need to add that to visible/displayed fields. Other wise you'd have to extend the context nodes using AET/EEWB. After you add the fields using configuration you can move them where ever you want to place them. I believe for first name/last name F4 comes by default.

Crop Marks – is this how they work?

I haven't had to use crop marks before – my books have been printed on sheets the same size as the InDesign page. Now however, I am about to print a small book, 4-Up, on sheets larger than the page size, so I will need to add crop marks. I want to run my understanding of how to place crop marks on the page and how they will be used by the guillotine man, past some of the experts on this forum.
And before anyone says: "Crop marks are the printer's job. Just let him do it", or somesuch comment – in this case it's not the printer's job, it's mine. I've chosen to do everything: the writing, the layout, purchase of the paper (910 x 650 sheets), the cutting of the paper, the imposition, the printing, arranging the cutting of the sheets, and then the binding. So, I need to know about crop marks. This is what I have discovered, or guessed (please correct me if I'm wrong):
Assume a page size in InDesign of 100 x 200 mm. When you export to PDF and tick Crop Marks and set Offset to a certain dimension, two things happen:
The page size is increased to (100 + 2 (Offset + 5.3)) in width, and (200 + 2 (Offset + 5.3)) in height. In the case of an offset of 5 mm, the page dimensions of the PDF become 120.6 x 220.6 mm.
Crop marks of 5.3mm in length (5/12"), are placed at the four corners of the new page pointing inwards to the original page size. Thus, in this case, there is a gap of 5mm, the chosen offset, between the end of the crop marks and the original page. This offset allows for movement of the sheets during printing, so that when the crops are made the crop marks won't appear on any of the pages. i.e. the offset is greater than the expected sheet movement.
The guillotine man, when he comes to cut the sheets, lines up the narrow beam of light from the guillotine with one of the crop marks – and cuts that edge. Now there are only two crop marks left because two have been cut off in this first cut.
The guillotine man then rotates the sheets 90º and cuts again. Now there is only one crop mark left.
The sheets are again rotated, the beam of light lined up with the remaining crop mark, and the third cut is made. There are no more crop marks left.
For the final cut, the sheets are rotated 90º, but as there are no crop marks left, the appropriate dimension has to be entered into the guillotine (or marked out on the top sheet), and the cut is made.
I have yet to confirm with my guillotine man that steps 3-6 describe how he will do it. That's simply how I imagine it would happen. And in the case of 4-Up, a couple of extra cuts will be needed in the centre, depending on how the imposed pages are positioned.
Is the above an accurate description of how crop marks are inserted and how they are used?

Thanks for the responses.
Stix: Personally if adding Crop marks in InDesign (I prefer to use an imposition program) I like to make them even numbers, e.g. 3mm offset and 7mm long crop marks, whoch give a PDF size that is bigger by 10mm on each side.
Yes, it would make it easier if numbers were whole integers. But how do you tell InDesign to make a certain-length crop mark? I assumed it was fixed at 30 point (5/24" = 5.292 mm).
cdflash: I'm sure there are good answers to all of these questions but they are not in the opening post.
I tried to keep my question as simple as possible, hence I didn't elaborate. But to answer some of your queries…
Or is the OP going to impose each sheet with 24 pages to view?… I am imposing using only InDesign using a method I developed. It's a very flexible method and works beautifully for 2-Up and 4-Up. Some of the imposition software I trialled several years ago was highly sus and not capable, for example, of generating variable-length signatures. I suppose the up-market programs would be okay, but I can't justify spending thousands on a program I might only use a few times.
Out of interest: can the software you suggested, Creo Preps, impose with these signature lengths: 6,6,4,4,4,8 (numbers of sheets per signature; total 128 pages)?
How many pages are in the book? How many copies of the book are required?… Size of Coracina is 148.5mm x 191 mm, 128 pages, 50 copies. The figures I gave for page size were examples only.
… and impose so that the pages get cut out as single pages and then hand-collated?… Printed sheets are 4-Up on SRA3. I chose SRA3 late in the piece when the printer told me that the click-charge was the same no matter what the paper size. Prior to that I was intending to print on A4. Printing costs are now halved.
Why is the OP handling this and not the printer?… I like a challenge, I like to be in control of the process, I like to learn, and I like to save money.
Tanksinker
Check out the images at the bottom of https://sites.google.com/site/tanksinker/Home/max-burns-tanksinker if you'd like to see how I make a book. Doing it all myself results in huge savings. Tanksinker cost me about $10,000 all up, only half of which I got back in sales. It's a hobby. I don't expect or want to profit from it. To print 50 copies of Tanksinker commercially, judging by what a local offset printer told me, would have cost $50k-100k for the plates alone (2 proofs, 400x4 plates each proof, $20-30/plate).
Coracina
I have been to see the guillotine man after reading all the posts above, and he confirmed that the crop marks I was using would be suitable (I just drew them on a piece of paper; I didn't show him the real thing). He did make a useful suggestion: he would trim the SRA3 sheet along the top and bottom of each book-spread (4 horizontal trims), but not trim to the left and right crop marks (vertical trims) because that would be done anyway when trimming the fore-edge after the book was sewn and glued.
A sample page of Coracina, with crop marks ready for printing, can be downloaded here: http://www.mediafire.com/?5eidx1c61o7jrjx
Printing of the first three copies is tomorrow morning, Tasmania time. If the crop marks on the sample, or any other aspect of the layout looks in any way sus or likely to cause problems, please let me know.
Oh, and I should add that Coracina is my partner's book. Way too girly for me. I'm just the technical consultant, shall I say.

Printing with Bleed and Crop marks from PS to PDF

So, i have created a business card with a .125in bleed all around in photoshop. I know that you can go to File->print->output in photoshop and specify crop marks and the amound of bleed...however, i have saved my business card as a PDF from photoshop. I want to print from the PDF version as i have the plug-in quite imposing 2 for acrobat and use step and repeat. How do i add the crop marks in the right place from Acrobat on the business card?

Do you have Quite Imposing Plus 2 or just Quite Imposing 2?

CROP MARKS? HELP!

Hi there, folks
I just got InDesign as my label have put an extremely inexperienced intern on the formatting of my cd art which I send in Photoshop format. He keeps screwing it up and it makes me very uncomfortable. So I have agreed to take the responsibility on myself, and am presently trying to prepare a cover for print.
But I can't for the life of me figure out how to set the crop marks. In Illustrator you'd make an object and then there was a button to set that as crop marks. How can I do it in InDesign? Also the registration marks? There is only one page about it in the help files and it doesn't mention how to actually set these things up.
Also, if anyone can offer further advice so that this goes to print with all the requirements. Is there anything else I need to set up?
Much thanks in advance!

Just designed and printed a CD cover yesterday for a client.
 
 A CD cover isn't exactly square.
 
 Make a new document: 4.875" wide x 4.75" high for your CD cover. Margins should be a minimum of 1/8" (.125). This is the live area and most printers prefer a minimum of 1/8" especially for text so it's not so close to the edge that part of it doesn't get trimmed off by mistake. Make a bleed of .125"
 
 Here's a sample image for you. I use .25 margin because I want the text and image as a unit in the center of my cover.
