7.1 Non Printable Objects
Placing a watermark on your documents will discourage people from copying them, claiming them as their
own. In PrintShop Mail you can set the non printable property to any kind of object. Here's a simple way to
add a custom watermark to your documents:
1. Launch PrintShop Mail and open the Newsletter.psmd file located in the Newsletter folder (Examples
folder).
2. Select the Image File option in the Insert menu. The Select Image File dialog appears.
3. Navigate to the Newsletter folder located in the Examples folder. Select the watermark.bmp image and
click Open. The image will be placed in the layout.
4. Move the image to a central position on the layout, rotate the image and scale it so it overlaps some
important/variable areas of the design.

5. Make sure that the image is selected and select Preview only in the Printing options section of the
Properties panel. By setting this option to Preview only, the image will only be visible in the JPG preview
and PDF softproofs generated by PrintShop Mail Web. Print and PDF output created by an operator (in-
plant status) will not show this object.

6. To finalize the design you can change the color scheme of the watermark image. As the watermark
image is a black and white bitmap image you can change the colors of its background and foreground
(the black parts).
Select the image and set the Convert to Two Colors option to Yes in the Two color section of the
Properties pane.
