Apologies if anyone has posted this elsewhere – I checked the Help, FAQ, Forums and Googled it – but I really can’t find a solution to this minor problem I’m having.

I have created a document that will be cut to 120mm x 120mm, I wanted to include a 10mm bleed around it so I made my Photoshop doc 140mm x 140mm.

When I go to the Print dialogue I have checked "Corner Crop Marks", set the bleed to 10mm and in the preview I can see that the crop marks are inside the image, marking out the correct 120×120 area. However, when I click Print the marks appear on the paper at the 140mm x 140mm area.

Has anyone else had this error, and even more importantly, has anyone found a solution?

I am using Photoshop CS3 (a site license of Web Premium), on a Mac G5 running Windows XP SP2. I have other machines & Photoshop versions available, I am going to test it on them to try and find out where the problem lies.

I am producing guides to using Photoshop at the moment and I don’t want to include something that can’t be done!

I have the same problem.

Did you find a solution for this?

This is really weird!

I did recently produce documents with bleeds, but using CS4 on Macintosh, will double-check if the crop marks are at the correct location. (I remember setting some manually, will double-check why)
