Inscape 'Printing Marks'

Postby evelyette » Wed Apr 30, 2014 2:40 am

Hi,

I'm creating a business card in inkscape and I'm having a problem with printing marks. I added printing marks to the business card, but when I exported the pdf document, the printing marks were gone. Since I must sent .pdf document to the company actually printing the business cards, I have to export them with printing marks as well - is there an option to also export printing marks?

Thank you

Hi,

You may need to increase the size of your document to include the marks.

I would make a Save-as-copy svg and increase the document size (select-all, click "Resize document to page or selection" in the Document properties panel>"+Resize page to content..". Then generate the PDF from the resized copy.

That only resizes the canvas, not the objects.

(Your preferences for margin may differ.)
Have a nice day.

I'm using Inkscape 0.92.2 (5c3e80d, 2017-08-06), 64 bit win8.1

The Inkscape manual has lots of helpful info! http://tavmjong.free.fr/INKSCAPE/MANUAL/html/
