Change placement of crop marks

jbzech
Is there a way to adjust the placement of the crop marks? My printer tells me:

"Crop marks need to be an 1/8" from final trim. They are .08"."

How can I make this change?

Thanks!

Amazing that your printer knows these are crop marks. Have you considered printing on larger paper?

Ha! I guess I should clarify. The commercial printer who ran a preflight on my PDF emailed this request. Other printers I have used are fine with the current crop mark placement, but this one wants .125in.

Does this get the result you want:
@page {
    marks: crop cross;
    prince-bleed: 0.5in
}

This should increase the size of the bleed area around the trim box.

Ah yes, printer has more than one definition. And of course Mike has the answer for you.

Perfect. Looks like it worked.

Thank you again, Mike.
