Marks Palette
The Marks palette in the Press Sheet View is used to place marks manually on the Page, Fold Sheet or Press Sheet. In other words these marks do not depend on conditions and they can be placed relative to any possible object on the page or sheet.
The palette contains the following marks categories:
•Page Marks: e.g., Page Crop
•Fold Sheet Marks (bound jobs)/Element Marks (unbound jobs): e.g., Fold Line, Cut, Collation
•Press Sheet Marks: e.g., Registration marks
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 manually may be positioned at unexpected locations and on other sheets than the sheet you are working on.
