Mark Types

Crop Marks

Crop marks are lines printed in the corners of the document to show where the page should be trimmed.

Bleed Marks

Bleed marks are lines that define the extra area of the image outside the defined page size that will be trimmed off.

Registration Marks

Registration marks are small crosshairs that are printed at the edges of the document to help align the different color plates.

Color Bars

Color bars are a series of coloured rectangles that are printed on the document to help calibrate the colour of the printer.
