Hey suv, thanks for all the research and the quick response!

So, I opened this report, because it's no longer a dupe of #171271. It is a dupe of #170962, actually, which I also reported, but didn't find when looking for reports related to margins.

As for comparing it with the printer marks feature: crop (printing) marks are for the printshop to tell, where to cut, they are not for the designer in the layouting process. so the crop marks are just there additionally, not actually helping the designer.

So please don't make this a dupe of #171271 but make #170962 a dupe of this.
@Pablo: leave the report #171271 for printing margins only. The original poster wanted the same feature as me, but for a different purpose. I think that it is the best to leave it only for printing margins… Though I'm not sure, if that isn't best handled by the print driver… it's not my workflow as I usually send things to a print shop, so I don't think I can really talk about it.

Did you try the extension? It allows to add crop marks, bleed marks,
registration marks etc.

Changed the duplicate status according to comment #3.

Forget my last comment (#4) - I misunderstood your comparison with the 'Printing Marks' extension. Regarding tools helping the designer and picking up on the 'guideline toolbox' from a comment to your original report: did you take a look at newer versions of the 'Guides Creator' <http://code.google.com/p/inkscape-guides-creator/>?

From the Roadmap <http://code.google.com/p/inkscape-guides-creator/wiki/Roadmap>:

Futures versions
° […]
° changing GC to a Guides Manager extension (calling for all ideas about guides manipulation)

Margins/frames useful in the design workflow (≠ printing):

these tools are available in 0.47
1) page frame: snap to page (new in 0.47)
2) bleed frame: set bleed marks with 'Printing Marks' extension, convert the bleed marks to guides
3) margin frame (for content): presets for guide lines are available with the extension 'Guides creator…', the latest version from <http://code.google.com/p/inkscape-guides-creator/> includes margin presets

missing:
1) toggle preview/export frame contents only (for page and bleed)
2) comprehensive integrated guides manager

related Blueprint: “improve guides usability by adding more features: lock/unlock, moveable guides, color selection...”:
<https://blueprints.launchpad.net/inkscape/+spec/guides-improvement>

Ideally, I would like to see margin and bleed ideas implemented as part of my blueprint. Having dynamic margins that update automatically when changing page dimensions might be handy.
