Caldera and crop marks

[dypinc]

Every once in a while I test RIPs. Because I would like to get away from Windows I am testing the Caldera 14.1 RIP.

Crop marks I am stomped on and can't find a way to set them properly. I have a document with a .25 bleed. I can set the margin to -.25 so the crop marks are in the correct place but how do you set them so they offset .25 so they do not print in the bleed area?

I don't think you can.
What if you create the bleed with caldera. Does that make it so?

 

[dypinc]

Even if I add a bleed you still can't do that. Why would they even have that option if you can't set it properly? Caldera has been around this long. Are they serious that they can't offset the crop mark so they don't print in the bleed area.

Are you trying with the CutServer Addon?

This is the trial at this point and yes I can enable cutting so I assume the cut server is enabled. I don't see anything in that tab for crop marks. I am just trying to imagine why anyone would want to have the crop marks print within the bleed area. I get so many client file that have no bleed or bleed only that to not be able to properly add crop marks in the RIP and have to place the files say in Indesign and export them would be a huge waste of my time. Plus the ability gang up many pages of small signs to print and mount to larger substrate and then trim I surely need as well. It is unfortunate if that in not do-able in Caldera which would make it a RIP I can't justify using.

This isn't the way you want it? I had to make the bleed in caldera.
I personally always use the "reverse" crop marks (middle one). So they can't really even be outside of the bleed.
