Print an object on all color plates

If you want an object to print on all plates in the printing process, including spot color plates, you can apply registration color to the object. Registration color is used for crop marks and trim marks. For composite output, objects with registration color applied will print as C 100, M 100, Y 100, and K 100. For separations, these objects will print as 100% on each plate.

  1. Select the objects to which you want to apply registration color.
  2. Choose Window > Swatches.
  3. In the Swatches panel, click the Registration color swatch .
