You can easily achieve it by geometry or by zwpagelayout. I should try
it with zwpagelayout with cropmarks enabled because in this case I
change \hoffset and \voffset...

Or you can do your own \loop and use just graphicx.sty

These are basic TeX registers, they were always here, will remain for
ever. They are documented in The TeXbook but not in books on LaTeX.
LaTeX honours them but packages may assume zero values when
calculating distance from the (1in, 1in) reference point using
\topmargin, \oddsidemargin, \evensidemargin.

Of course, well designed packages should take \hoffset and \voffset
into account but users should use LaTeX in the LaTeX way, they should
not combine LaTeX and plain TeX methods without knowing what they do
and what may happen.
