What should I use to make business cards?

My adobe illustrator cs3 don't got the option "crop marks"?

• Well i want to make business cards but i need the crop marks option so i can see where to cut, I go to effects but there's no "crop mark" option, Is there a way i can download the "crop mark" and put it on my illustrator??? Here's a video of what crop mark is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=inuAtdSgn4w

• Answer:

  It's not in the effects menu. It's an option when you go to save the file. When you choose a location and name for the saved file, (if you save as a PDF anyway) it goes to another dialogue box with more options on it. On the left is a menu item called "Marks and Bleeds". Select that and you have various print marks that you can check, including crop marks. The final file will save with whatever option you checked present. View the file in an image viewer to check it's worked before sending to your printer/client. ::EDIT:: Okay, I've never seen it in the effects menu, in 10 years of designing but I rarely use that menu. I only ever use those marks when I send something to the printer (and by that I mean email the file to the guys that print the stuff out, business cards or whatever, not the machine in the corner of my room). ::EDIT:: Oh I see it there, lol. Yeah it's in my effects menu, under Illustrator effects". Never needed it. I am using CS5 on a Mac though, so I can't help you find it in CS3. Sorry I can't be more help!
