In your example the paper has the same size as the page but you try draw a frame which is larger than the page. The question is where you expect the frame to appear.

Did you read my answer for your question in the other thread?

Of course I did, but I unterstood, that your code adds only 1.5cm, maybe it was easy to change and I oversaw that? For record: It was

\setuppapersize[MyBook][oversized]

I need variable oversizing (and mostly 3mm for printing and cutting)

\definepapersize[sheet] [width=162mm,height=225mm] \definepapersize[bigsheet][width=\dimexpr\paperwidth+6mm\relax,height=\dimexpr\paperheight+6mm\relax] \setuppapersize[sheet][bigsheet] \setupbackgrounds[page][frame=on,frameoffset=0mm] \setuplayout [location=middle, topspace=17.4mm, header=1.1cm, footer=1.4cm, bottomspace=26mm, width=middle, cutspace=20mm, backspace=22.2mm, height=fit, grid=yes, %setups=mypenalties, ] \starttext \input knuth \stoptext BTW: Can you do something about the bad formatting of the examples from your mail client which adds a lot of empty lines.
