Printing & Publishing | | Dutch term or phrase: snijlijnen voorzien | Anyone know the term for this in the printing world? A new international standard now applies for submitting advertisements to magazines and newspapers: certified PDF/X Plus v3 (or Medibel+ version 6). These are guidelines issued by a publisher to its clients.

As simple as "provide cutting lines"? French translation that came with this job has "prévoir une fausse coupe" in case that's enlightening for anyone. |

Hi Moira,
I think cutting lines or marks are both OK; as for the crop marks: they consist of more than just the lines, there are also positioning marks, color/ black and white measuring points, etc. I am trying to think of a site in English for these marks, I know I have had it in my Bookmarks some time ago, but somehow it is gone :-( ; I will keep looking! |

Asker: Hi Astrid,
Nice to hear from someone in the trade! Dictionaries aren't always so expert, but just stumbled across this one at http://pers.nl/Naslag/GrafischWoordenboek, which defines snijlijnen as "Dunne korte lijntjes, meegedrukt op de vellen, die de plaats van het snijden aangeven" and translates it as "cutting marks". Any thoughts?
Asker: A colleague on another forum has just told me that they use the term "crop marks" in the advertising industry. Any further thoughts??
