Frequently asked questions
What marks are added?
Crop marks, trim marks, and registration marks for professional print finishing.
Can I customize mark placement?
Marks follow industry-standard placement. Offset distance from the trim line is configurable.
Do I need trim marks for digital printing?
Usually not. Trim marks are primarily needed for offset printing, commercial print shops, and large-format printing where physical cutting is required.
Will trim marks appear on the final printed piece?
No. Trim marks are placed outside the trim area and are cut off during the finishing process.
