Creating your own watermarks
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.
1 Create 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.
m The printing software determines the placement of the watermark based on
where it calculates the upper-left and lower-right corners of the image are.
If you want to have more control over the placement, you can use your
drawing program to place a dot above and to the left of the image in the
watermark file to define a new upper-left corner. If you don’t want the dot
to be visible in your printed document, make the dot white.
