Creating your own watermarks
Traditionally a watermark is a translucent image impressed on a piece of
paper that you can see only by holding the paper up to the light. The Color
StyleWriter 6500 can’t do that, but it can put an image on each page of your
document, creating the illusion of a watermark. The Color StyleWriter 6500
comes with a number of watermarks already installed, and you can create
more.
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.
