Oh, that is a rare question!

Also, there is a script called: "CropMarks.jsx" that can be customized.

Can you be a bit more specific? I'm not sure what you're talking about.

 

BTW, a lot of printers don't even want them. The crop / bleed info is included in the exported PDF and they prefer to create their own.

Offset is the distance from the art. Your screenshot looks fine.
