Colour control bar

Use this setting to automatically add the specified colour control strip to each printed page to verify printed colours.

You can select a pre-installed or a user-installed colour control strip. Pre-installed colour control strips can have names like "Fogra Media Wedge V2" or "IDEAlliance Control Strip 2009". Check the Settings Editor for available pre-installed or user-installed colour control bar names.

Setting @MarkPosition is related to the orientation of the page content. The orientation of the bar content is considered to be landscape. The rotation of the bar is determined automatically:

  • Top and left position:

    The top of the bar points towards the edge of the page.

  • Bottom and right position:

    The bottom of the bar points towards the edge of the page.
