Hi Wolfgang,

...

it seems to me that referenzline, subject, foldmarks, etc, are about 4mm or 5mm to big (A4 paper). The foldmark for example should be 105mm from papertop. It is 110mm from top. The horizontal offset (3.5mm) of foldmarks ist to small. A laserprinter often is not able to print 5mm or more from paperedge. So the foldmarks are invisibel.

I never measured the real values and it should be simple whitespace problem somewhere in the code.

Have you found that whitespace? Aren't the foldmarks positioned in absolute values relative to the page? There is no whitespace involved, isn't it? So I don't understand this 5mm offset at all. Are your vertical foldmark positions ok?

The address field was wrong placed and I corrected it, the place for the referenece line should work but I change the position dependen on the alternative for the layout and the value in the default letterstyle is ignored at the moment.

Don't what do you mean about the subject, the position is controlled with the normal page layout.

But the bodyspace depends on the space occupied by the header (addresfield, referenceline etc.). Wrong?

I could change the values for the foldmarks, I corrected the position already and it got them at least on my own printer. You could try to play with \setupletterstyle[topmark,botmark,cutmark][hoffset=...] and give me a value that did work for your printer.

6mm should be enough for laserprinters. Grusz, Wolfgang
