Marks Palette
The Marks palette is used to place marks on a product or sheet interactively. In other words, these marks do not depend on the conditions of a Mark Set and they can be placed relative to any possible object on the product or sheet.
The palette contains the following marks categories:
•Image: e.g. Text, Line, Grommet, Crop
•Sheet: e.g. Text, Line, File, Cut, Registration, File
•Press Sheet Marks: e.g. Cut-off, File, Density, Color Bar, Ink-Eater
The various mark types in these categories are managed in the Mark Engraver Resource of the Impose Task Processor. Refer to
“Mark Engraver” and
“Mark Types” for more information about the different types of marks and their settings.
CAUTION: Marks placed interactively may be positioned at unexpected locations and on other sheets than the sheet you are working on.
