Apple 6500 manual Creating your own watermarks

Creating your own watermarks

Traditionally a watermark is a translucent image impressed on a piece of paper that you can see only by holding the paper up to the light. The Color StyleWriter 6500 can’t do that, but it can put an image on each page of your document, creating the illusion of a watermark. The Color StyleWriter 6500 comes with a number of watermarks already installed, and you can create more.

You can use any program that can save PICT or PICT2 format files to create your own watermarks. For example, you can create a watermark with your company’s logo on it.

1Create the file with a drawing program or any program that can save PICT or PICT2 files.

Here are some tips for making effective watermarks:

m Make the watermark with saturated colors. When you print a document, you can use the Density control to make the watermark lighter.

m As you draw the image, keep in mind how the watermark scaling options affect the placement of the image when it is printed.
