If you are setting crop marks and want the artwork to contain a bleed area (a margin
added to the page so that it can be trimmed after printing), make sure that you extend the
artwork past the crop marks to accommodate the bleed. (See
on page 422.)
Also make sure that your media size is large enough to contain the page and any printer's
marks and bleeds. If a document doesn't fit the media, you can control where items are
clipped by using the Page Position option in the Setup panel of the Print dialog box. (See
"Setting output size and handling options" on page

The Marks & Bleeds panel includes the following options:
All Printer's Marks Selects all printer's marks at once.
Type Lets you choose default printer's marks or custom marks, if provided by other
companies (for Japanese pages, for example).
Crop Marks Adds fine (hairline) horizontal and vertical rules that define where the
page should be trimmed. Crop marks can also help register (align) one color separation
to another.
Color Bars Adds small squares of color representing the CMYK inks and tints of gray (in
10% increments). Your service provider uses these marks to adjust ink density on the
printing press.
Registration Marks Adds small "targets" outside the page area for aligning the different
separations in a color document.
Page Information Prints the filename, page number, current date and time, and color
separation name in 8-point Arial (Windows) or 8-point Helvetica (Mac OS) in the lower left
corner of each sheet of paper or film. The Page Information option requires 0.5 inches
(13mm) along the horizontal edge.
Offset Specifies how far from the edge of the page (not the bleed) InDesign will draw
printer's marks. By default, InDesign draws printer's marks 6 points from the edge of the
page. To avoid drawing printer's marks on a bleed, be sure to enter an Offset value greater
than the Bleed value.
Weight Displays possible weights for crop and bleed mark lines.
Bleed Marks Adds fine (hairline) rules that define the amount of extra area to image
outside the defined page size.
