Reference marks on the page used to align overlaying colours. Also known as trim marks or 'crop marks'.
Hair liNe crosses used to accurately superimpose negatives in the proper position and ensure proper register.
Usually depicted by a cross in a circle to ensure perfect alignment when printing more than one ink.
Figures (usually crossed lines and a circle) placed outside the trim page boundaries in color separation overlays to provide a common element for proper alignment.
Small crosses, guides, or patterns placed on originals before reproduction to facilitate registration of plates and printing therefrom.
Small cross hairs on plates used to align the color separated images
Other Term: register marks.
Small bulls eye-shaped targets, used to "check registration." When the bulls eye marks overlay each other the project being printed is "in register."
Marks outside the printing area that help us make sure colours are lined up or ‘registered’ together.
Used to ensure perfect alignment when printing multiple inks, usually consisting of a circle and cross symbol.
Cross hair marks placed on a key line, overlays or spot and process colour separations to insure proper positioning on the press.
Circles and lines that appear on the outside of the page area that ensure that the colour plates are properly lined up with each other during the printing process. RGB: Red, Green, Blue. These colours make up an additive form of the four printing colours CMYK. RGB scans should always be converted to CMYK for correct output.
Cross-hair lines on films that are used as guides to align colours.
Crosshair targets on color separations to allow precise positioning of the various pieces of film.
Cross marks or circles printed to assist the printer in aligning multiple colours.
These are marks added to the outside area of a page when it is outputted. These marks are used to align the separate pieces of film. Because a single page in a multi-color document can have several film plates, these registration marks are critical to ensure a high quality finished piece.
Marks that appear on film, used to check that all the colours line up.
Marks placed on a page and used as an alignment aid so that in printing, the elements or layers in a document can be arranged correctly with respect to each other.

Marks use by the printer to line up the paper with area to be printed.
Symbols attached to original copy prior to photography, used for positioning films in register, or registering two or more colors when printing.
These are marks on the templates that look a little like bullet mark symbols (outside of the print area). Graphics equipment uses them to register and cut the paper during the print and assembly process. (They must appear and align on all printing plates.)
Crosses or other marks placed on the art work to align printing plates when printing with more than one colour.
Cross-haired lines that help visually ensure that a set of films or printing plates are in register, to produce a sharp registered result. Many modern printing presses have sensors which can automatically detect registration marks and ensure registration.
These are used in design and layout and help align the different pieces of film during plate-making.
crosses or other marks placed on artwork which ensure alignment of colours ('registration').
marks outside the printing area that help to make sure colors are lined up or "registered" together.
Crosses or other marks used by the artists and printers as aids to the accurate positioning of two or more printings on a single sheet of paper. Registration marks are usually positioned to print outside the trimmed sheets area of the final print, or they can be removed before the actual print is begun. However some artists consider registration marks part of the process and deliberately make no effort to disguise them.
The marks applied to each film to ensure correct alignment of each colour on press.
