I imported a PSD business card i created into Illustrator and it worked but put cutting marks that i cant figure out how to remove. they also print out which i dont want it to do. how do i remove them?

Hi

I'm not sure as I havn't imported a PSD file as you describe, but...

If the file works the same as a native ai file then you could try Edit>CropMarks>Release.

Alternatively you could try the direct selection tool (white arrow in tools palet or keyboard short cut "a") and just try deleting them (shift select to select them all).

Hope this helps.

Lark,

The trim marks are part of the placed Photoshop raster image. Actually removing them would be most easily done back in Photoshop.

If you don't want them to print, mask them out with a clipping mask or add crop marks in IL to define your output area.

Why in the world are you creating a business card in Photoshop when you have Illustrator? And having created it in Photoshop, why are you trying to print from Illustrator?

these marks seem to be something put in my Illustrator, not Photoshop. I never made them or anything. they dont even have their own layer at all. I have even turned off the visibility of every layer and they are still there. try it yourself and you will probably see. just open a PSD (probably even a jpeg or other file will do it to) that is kind of on the smaller side. you will see some markings at all four corners. They also will print out and i dont know how to turn them off

Lark,

Sorry, I misunderstood your post to mean you had put the marks there in Photoshop.

Select your placed image, then go to Object | Crop Marks | Release.
