Awatermark is an identifying image or pattern in paper that appears as various shades of lightness/darkness when viewed by transmitted light (or when viewed by reflected light, atop a dark background), caused by thickness or density variations in the paper.[1]Watermarks have been used on postage stamps, currency, and other government documents to discourage counterfeiting. There are two main ways of producing watermarks in paper; the dandy roll process, and the more complex cylinder mould process.

Watermarks vary greatly in their visibility; while some are obvious on casual inspection, others require some study to pick out. Various aids have been developed, such as watermark fluid that wets the paper without damaging it. A watermark is very useful in the examination of paper because it can be used for dating documents and artworks, identifying sizes, mill trademarks and locations, and determining the quality of a sheet of paper. The word is also used for digital practices that share similarities with physical watermarks. In one case, overprint on computer-printed output may be used to identify output from an unlicensed trial version of a program. In another instance, identifying codes can be encoded as a digital watermark for a music, video, picture, or other file.


Watermarks were first introduced in Fabriano, Italy, in 1282.[2] At the time, watermarks were created by changing the thickness of paper during a stage in the manufacturing process when it was still wet.


Traditionally, a watermark was made by impressing a water-coated metal stamp onto the paper during manufacturing. The invention of the dandy roll in 1826 by John Marshall revolutionised the watermark process and made it easier for producers to watermark their paper.


The dandy roll is a light roller covered by material similar to window screen that is embossed with a pattern. Faint lines are made by laid wires that run parallel to the axis of the dandy roll, and the bold lines are made by chain wires that run around the circumference to secure the laid wires to the roll from the outside. Because the chain wires are located on the outside of the laid wires, they have a greater influence on the impression in the pulp, hence their bolder appearance than the laid wire lines.


This embossing is transferred to the pulp fibres, compressing and reducing their thickness in that area. Because the patterned portion of the page is thinner, it transmits more light through and therefore has a lighter appearance than the surrounding paper. If these lines are distinct and parallel, and/or there is a watermark, then the paper is termed laid paper. If the lines appear as a mesh or are indiscernible, and/or there is no watermark, then it is called wove paper. This method is called line drawing watermarks.


Another type of watermark is called the cylinder mould watermark. It is a shaded watermark first used in 1848 that incorporates tonal depth and creates a greyscale image. Instead of using a wire covering for the dandy roll, the shaded watermark is created by areas of relief on the roll's own surface. Once dry, the paper may then be rolled again to produce a watermark of even thickness but with varying density. The resulting watermark is generally much clearer and more detailed than those made by the Dandy Roll process, and as such Cylinder Mould Watermark Paper is the preferred type of watermarked paper for banknotes, passports, motor vehicle titles, and other documents where it is an important anti-counterfeiting measure.


In philately, the watermark is a key feature of a stamp, and often constitutes the difference between a common and a rare stamp. Collectors who encounter two otherwise identical stamps with different watermarks consider each stamp to be a separate identifiable issue.[3] The "classic" stamp watermark is a small crown or other national symbol, appearing either once on each stamp or a continuous pattern. Watermarks were nearly universal on stamps in the 19th and early 20th centuries, but generally fell out of use, but some countries continue to use them.[4]


Some types of embossing, such as that used to make the "cross on oval" design on early stamps of Switzerland, resemble a watermark in that the paper is thinner, but can be distinguished by having sharper edges than is usual for a normal watermark. Stamp paper watermarks also show various designs, letters, numbers and pictorial elements.


The process of bringing out the stamp watermark is fairly simple. Sometimes a watermark in stamp paper can be seen just by looking at the unprinted back side of a stamp. More often, the collector must use a few basic items to get a good look at the watermark. For example, watermark fluid may be applied to the back of a stamp to temporarily reveal the watermark.[4]


Even using the simple watermarking method described, it can be difficult to distinguish some watermarks. Watermarks on stamps printed in yellow and orange can be particularly difficult to see. A few mechanical devices are also used by collectors to detect watermarks on stamps such as the Morley-Bright watermark detector and the more expensive Safe Signoscope.[citation needed] Such devices can be very useful for they can be used without the application of watermark fluid and also allow the collector to look at the watermark for a longer period of time to more easily detect the watermark.


Hello all

I hope someone can help me! I have signed up to Dropbox professional so that I can watermark my photographs. Although I can see the ellipsis on the top right hand corner above my photographs, when I press it, the word watermark does not appear.



Please advise!

I'm having the same issue that the watermark option is not appearing in the image preview "..." menu. I am on the Dropbox Plus plan. Here is a screenshot of an image showing what I mean... (please ignore the rubbish image - taken for demo purposes only!)


Hi, I'm new to this forum and wanted to see if others are also experiencing the same issue. Recently, I've noticed there's a watermark on my bio site to which I haven't enabled for the past weeks or months (am a pro subscriber). It irked me so I decided to disable it. When I disabled it on the app, the moment I press "Update", the toggle "Show watermark" is enabled. I thought it was weird so I tried it again, same results. It auto-enables once I press "Update" (my app is the latest version). I tried another alternative method which is the browser version of the editor. I saw that the "Show watermark" option is locked and when clicked, it shows the billing options. I already am a Pro Subscriber so I'm not sure why am I seeing it. I have already contacted support and waiting for their feedback. Just curious if there's anyone having the same issues as well. Cheers!


I paid for an Unfold Pro account in order to remove the watermark from my biosite, but I am completely at a loss for how to remove it. Any help is appreciated because I can't publish this in a professional capacity until I fix this. Thanks


I've been searching for a solution to putting a large, diagonal watermark(or stamp) that says Preliminary. My goal was to have it behind my geometry. When I put the Text in the drawing, it works fine with the other text fields, but it covers the part. I wanted a way to "send to back" like in PowerPoint.


I am trying to do a similar watermark on the drawing. Management wants the watermark to be automatically added to the drawing and to be driven off of the lifecycle state but to display a different word. We have already display the lifecycle state in the boarder but they want something larger on the drawing. Looking for any recommendations or solutions that worked for others.


Within creo, maybe you could use a font that is not filled, so it shows the outline of PRELIMINARY but you can still your drawing. You make that part of a parameter if you wanted to so it could be turned off/on based on released status. The color of the text could possibly be a line weight that was printed thinner to give the watermark illusion.


We had a similar requirement and I have implemented watermark on drawing template using Drawing Program. The program add a note only when the state of the drawing is in design. When the state is set to any released state, it will automatically be hidden and next time when the drawing is revised to design the note appears and this works perfectly fine.
