inside of what you cut off? so you see a line there? if so, then it's 
part of the page content and should be done with overlays (otherwise we 
add features that are hard to explain and seldom used and forgotten)

the only thing that helps against the marke being cut off is to draw a 
frame so i'll add

\setuplayout[marking=page]

which draws a dashed outline just outside the page (so one can cut there 
and still get the right size)
