Like color bars, take-off bars are tiled across the width of the substrate, stopping 0.125 in. / 3.17 mm from each edge. A take-off bar is centered horizontally on the substrate. Take-off bars can only be added to a job once, regardless of their name.
Some printers like to make shortened take-off bars to fill extra spaces. For Pandora, use a rectangle saved as a static mark.
