Prinect Prepress Manager Marks

When Prinect Signa Station is installed, you will find another set of standard marks especially for the Prinect Prepress Manager in the folder "Resources > Marks > PtR_Marks".

You cannot change the group name or delete the group. You also cannot modify or generate a mark or add another mark to this group. Leave the standard group as it is! For that reason, you should file your own marks in a new group you created yourself.

To make changes to the standard marks, you must first copy them to a user-specific group with "Copy Resource / Paste Resource".

Description of the Prinect Prepress Manager Marks

PtR_TextMark_Name	Order name, layout name, date, time, color separation, customer name (is replaced by the Prinect Prepress Manager). This mark can be copied to a customer-specific marks group where they can be overwritten with the name you want, e.g. customer or company name.
PtR_ColorMark	Name of the separation (is replaced by the Prinect Prepress Manager).
PtR_OrderMark_L	Job name, customer name, customer ID. Arranged as a row (Line). (is replaced by the Prinect Prepress Manager).
PtR_OrderMark_C	Job name, customer name, customer ID. Arranged as a column (Column) (is replaced by the Prinect Prepress Manager).

PtR_SignatureMark	Signature number (is replaced by the Prinect Prepress Manager).
PtR_SchemeMark	Signature number, (finishing) sheet name, front/back, sheet number (the first two are replaced by the Prinect Prepress Manager, the next two by Prinect Signa Station).
PtR_FoldingSheetMark	Folding Sheet No: The folding sheet number must be specified on the folding sheet so it can be replaced at all. The mark adds the folding sheet number to this text, e.g.: Folding Sheet No: 1 (is replaced by Prinect Signa Station).

PtR_CalGroupMark	Name of the process calibration group (is replaced by the Prinect Prepress Manager, but only for Imposition Output).
PtR_CalCurveMark	Name of the process calibration group and, if necessary, the calibration curve. You can only replace the calibration curve if "Use Standard" is enabled in the output dialog in the sequence template (is replaced by the Prinect Prepress Manager, but only for Imposition Output).

PtR_WebMark	Sheet, web name, front and back For example: Sheet_1_Web_2 Top / Bottom (the first is replaced by the Prinect Prepress Manager, the next two by Prinect Signa Station).
PtR_WorkstyleMark	Printing type, workstyle (is replaced by Prinect Signa Station)

Assigned placeholder marks

These marks provide information about the page they are nearest to in the imposition scheme.

Note: These marks can also be positioned on the plate template off the paper. They are found on the imposition proof but not on the printed sheet.

Name in Prinect Signa Station	Explanation
PtR_PageGeometryMark	- Trimmed size (trim box) of the page (media box is used if pages don't have a trim box) - Untrimmed format of the page placeholder in the layout (gray page in the graphic view) - Offset of the trim box to the layout, reference point is the bottom left corner of the page (media box is used if pages don't have a trim box) (page with trim box and 3 mm trim is at 3,3; page with 3 mm trim and no trim box is at 0,0) - Page scale in percent - Page orientation (0, 90, 180, 270 degrees)
PtR_AssignMark_C	Page name, page position, name of the page list. Arranged as a column (C= column).
PtR_AssignMark_L	Page name, page position, name of the page list. Arranged as a row (L= line).
PtR_AssignMark_Cs	Page name, page position, arranged as a column (C=Column)
PtR_AssignMark_Ls	Page name, page position, arranged as a row (line).
PtR_PageNameMark	Name of the page
PtR_PageProofMark	Name of the proofing sequence template, ICC proofer profile
PtR_GangJobMark	Source job number (page/source numbers of a gang run job)
PtR_GangPart_FoldingSheet_Mark	For gang jobs
PtR_GangJobSheet_Mark	For gang jobs

Proofer marks / proof color marks

Some marks are only needed in the proof. For that reason, these marks only have objects in the proof color (overprint).

These marks are found as they are only in the proof but not in the print. As a result, you can also set them on the paper.

Name in Prinect Signa Station	Explanation
PtR_AssignMark_C_ProofColor	Pos: $[PagePositionName] Page: $[PageName] PageList: $[PageListName]
PtR_AssignMark_Cs_ProofColor	Pos: $[PagePositionName] Page: $[PageName]
PtR_AssignMark_L_ProofColor	Pos: $[PagePositionName] Page: $[PageName] $[PageListName]
PtR_AssignMark_Ls_ProofColor	Pos: $[PagePositionName] Page: $[PageName]
PtR_ProofColorMgrMark_ProofColor	Template Name: $[SequenceTemplateName] ICC press profile: $[ICCPressProfile] ICC proofer profile: $[ICCProoferProfile]
PtR_PageGeometryMark_ProofColor	PageTrimSize X / Y: $[PageTrimSizeX], $[PageTrimSizeY] ImpBleedSize X / Y: $[ImpBleedSizeX], $[ImpBleedSizeY] PageOffset X / Y: $[PageOffsetX], $[PageOffsetY] Scale X / Y: $[PageScaleX], $[PageScaleY] Orientation: $[PageOrientation]
PtR_ImpositionProofMark_ProofColor	This contains some boxes that must be filled during the form proof check. Many companies put a stamp in such boxes.
