The Mark Tool is used to add printer marks to an Artboard. You can create a Mark parameter set, which allows you to easily add a standard set of marks. Mark solves the potential problems caused by non-standard marks and is more efficient than manually creating marks in Adobe Illustrator. Prinergy Tools only supports adding Marks to Artboards at this time.
The Mark Tool has eight types of marks:
Center mark Printing marks for registration This mark can be added to a trim box, media box, sheet, plate, CAD bounding box, or the four directions (up/down/right/left) on the artboard. | |
Corner mark Marks for checking printing registration This mark can be added to a trim box, media box, sheet, plate, CAD bounding box, or the four corners of the artboard. | |
Ellipse mark Marks for making round shape ink color spots This mark can be added to a trim box, media box, sheet, plate, 1-up files, CAD bounding box, or artboard | |
Gradation mark Marks for making an ink color bar This mark can be added to a trim box, media box, sheet, plate, 1-up files, CAD bounding box or artboard. | |
Image mark Users can import custom marks as image mark This mark can be added to a trim box, media box, sheet, plate, 1-up files, CAD bounding box, or artboard. | |
Rectangle mark Marks for making rectangle shape ink color spots This mark can be added to a trim box, media box, sheet, plate, 1-up files, CAD bounding box, or artboard. | |

Station Number mark For adding station number | |
Trim mark For marking cutline By adding this mark to sheets and plates, you can add the trim marks to each stepped box or label. |
You can add any of these marks to a trim box, media box, sheet, plate, 1-up files, or CAD bounding box as well as to the artboard. Additionally, you can save the marks parameters as an individual file that can be used in other documents. The following image summarizes the Mark Tool functionality:
