Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions regarding print registration and crop mark parameters.

Q.What are trim (crop) marks?

Trim marks are thin lines printed at the corners of a sheet to show where the paper should be cut after printing.

Q.What are registration marks?

Registration marks are targets (crosshairs) placed on the margins that allow press operators to align cyan, magenta, yellow, and black plates accurately.

Q.Why are color calibration bars included?

Color bars are arrays of solid color blocks used by press operators to measure ink density and color balance across the press sheet.
