CorelDRAW Paper Cutting Mark Tutorial
CorelDraw lets you insert crop marks and bleed marks into your project. These marks tell the printer where to cut the paper and how far to let the image bleed when doing so. You can insert crop and bleed marks through the "Print Preview" and "Print Layout" pages, respectively. Once the crop marks are inserted, you must enable them so that the marks appear when the document is printed.
