Ummm... why bother with margins and crop marks in them.. Just specify the
page size ya want for the text formatting in the app you are writing the doc
in. When you go to print them on your own laser, you simply specify the
size of the input paper, in the settings dialog box. You don't hafta screw
around with maargins then. That can create problems if the stuff has to go
to film for a large print job. You should never give the image output
house, anything other than exactly what you want. It saves time, money and
headachse caused form grief when you look at the film and find that it ain't
hat you had planned on it being.
