CorelDraw graphic design software lets you insert crop marks and bleed marks into any 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. After inserting the crop marks, you must enable them so that the marks appear when the document is printed.
