The easiest way I've found to eliminate these bothersome
holdovers from the days of roll-fed typesetters is to edit the
macro packages you use, and replace the dashes in their
definition with spaces.  This way, if you ever need to, you can
re-insert the dashes.

As an alternative method, add

	.de CM (or whatever your macros use for cut marks)
	..

or

	.rm CM

to the head of each file, but the first method is less hassle
and you dont need to remember to add the new "definition" or
"remove" lines.
