I was sent a document with trim marks, but my epson printer isn't recognizing them and printing the trim marks. Can anyone tell me where I'm going wrong and how to properly print this? Thanks!

    Trim marks are supposed to get printed as they are a visual-guide used by the off-site print shop when they physically cut the paper.

    But I'm trying to print them myself. Is that possible or do I have to get them printed?

    If you print them, you'll have to trim them yourself.

    Get a good Rotary cutter.  See image below.
