[Custom Mark Management] Pane

Custom marks are marks created by the users that are placed in the XMF imposition process such as dynamic marks and control strips. Basic dynamic marks are already installed in the XMF system, but dynamic marks created by the user can also be used as custom marks. For example, you can use custom marks if you want to add a control strip for print colour management. To use custom marks, files created with a DTP application such as Adobe Illustrator must first be imported into the XMF system.

You can place the appropriate mark from the registered custom marks (control strips) according to the job condition automatically if you use the intelligent mark function.

Note

The file format that can be used for custom marks is PDF. Design and save custom marks using any software.

When creating custom marks, create 1 file for each custom mark. For example, if you need new corner trim marks, create a custom mark file for each corner.

When a custom mark with spot colour names defined as "FUJI:SpotX" (where X is a single-byte number from 1 to 16) is used, the spot colours within the custom mark can be changed automatically according to the input data. The spot colours defined as "FUJI:SpotX" are replaced automatically with the spot colours used in the input data in accordance with the separation order set in the workflow item. Up to 16 colours can be replaced automatically.

You can import the FOGRA media wedge installed in XMF as a custom mark. The FOGRA media wedge is installed in [XMF installation folder]\MediaWedge.

You cannot re-composite separated PDFs when importing custom marks.
