The impression of a design, pattern or symbol on a sheet of paper. When viewed in the light, a watermark appears in the finished sheet as either lighter or darker than the rest of the paper.
Slightly thicker part of the printmakers mold, usually in the form of a design or letter, that indicated the source of the paper. the watermark is thinner than the rest of the sheet.
A faint design made in paper during manufacture visible when held against the light to identify the maker.
A translucent mark in the paper made during its manufacture. Usually visible when holding the paper to the light.
The image impressed into the formation of paper by the dandy roll on the wet end of the paper machine; can be seen by holding the watermarked sheet up to the light. Can be either a wire mark or a shaded image.
A translucent identifying mark on a sheet of paper made during its manufacture by variations in pulp thickness. It may be a symbol (e.g., fool's cap or crown), a monogram, or company name that has been formed in wire on the papermaker's mould. Whatman paper often has the date of manufacture included in the watermark. Watermarks are usually read from the image side of the paper.
a pattern formed on paper on the "wet-end" of the paper making process - appears lighter or darker than the rest of the paper when held up to light.
A translucent design, often emblematic, in a sheet of paper indicating the papermaker.
A design impressed in paper during manufacturing.
Designs on sheets of paper created by varying paper thickness. A real watermark occurs when the dandy roll displaces (light watermark) or concentrates (shaded watermark) the pulp mass in the wire section of the paper machine. Facsimile, or impressed, watermarks are made in the paper web after it has left the wire section. Imitation watermarks are added off machine by means of a transparent varnish or embossing process.
A mark visible within the paper when held up to the light. The watermark is made by sewing into the screen of the paper mold a wire impression of the desired mark. When the pulp is placed onto the surface of the screen, these raised wires leave an impression in the pulp such that the area above the wire design is thinner and more translucent, capturing the design of the watermark in the final sheet. Study of a sheet's watermark can provide useful information about the paper's date and place of manufacture.
a pattern embedded in paper during the production process, created by an intentional thinning of the paper. Watermarked paper has been used for stamps, stamped envelopes, and postal cards. The design of the watermark on stamps generally consists of the letters USPS. Watermarks on postal stationery vary, but generally contains the letters US.
Designs impressed into paper while in course of manufacture by means of a projecting wire, on the mould. A watermark design is etched onto a special plate in positive or negative form and attached to a cylinder called a dandy roll. As the wet pulp is being formed into paper, the dandy roll displaces the fibres slightly, causing the faint watermark design to appear on the paper. Watermarks were employed as early as 1282. They served to identify the product of each paper mill and the designs chosen (many of them extremely complicated) also expressed emblematically the tenets of the manufacturers, which were handed down traditionally from father to son. It was customary, and the custom has survived until the present day, for paper mills to use similar designs in common. These standard designs were triflingly modified by each individual maker; they have in many cases been the origin of modern terminology, such as Foolscap, Pott, Post and so forth.
In papermaking, a name or design impressed on paper by the raised pattern of the dandy roll during manufacture. This mark faintly shows when the paper is held to light. to top
a mark in fine papers, imparted during manufacture, that identifies a paper. It doesn't leave an impression in the paper, instead it leaves behind a translucent mark. see also dandy roll
A symbol or trademark manufactured into the wet, raw paper pulp with a dandy roll, visible when paper is held to light - or a background text or graphic element that appears very lightly on each page, behind the primary text or graphic elements, created at around 10% - 20%. Watermarks differ from headers and footers in that they are very light and can be placed anywhere on the page.
A design, device or pattern in paper, generally visible by transmitted light, formed by the dandy roll at the wet pulp stage of manufacture, in which the pressure of the attached bits results in a thinning of the paper. The watermark may serve to identify the paper-maker, but is usually incorporated in the paper used for stamps as a security measure, to defeat the forger. With more sophisticated printing methods in recent years the use of watermarks is dying out. British stamps ceased to use them in 1967. See also Batonne.

The image that can be found on higher grade papers that appears to be transparently applied to the finish.
Watermarks are designs or patterns put into paper during its production, by making thinner or thicker the layer of pulp when it is still wet. Hence, the name. Watermarks can be used to identify a company, reinforce a brand or can be added as a security measure to avoid forgery of important documents as bank notes, passports, lottery tickets, etc. Types of watermark available are; line, shadow and two tone. Positions available are; cut to register, slit to register or random.

Watermarks are designs pressed into handmade paper by a decoratively shaped bent wire placed in the bottom of a papermold. As the paper pulp drained, the shape would be pressed into the paper along with the lines of the wire mesh. Watermarks were used to identify paper produced from various mills.

A design consisting of characters, letters, numbers, words, Or sometimes ( unintentionally) caused by a plate flaw, impressed into the paper during its manufacture and visible in part or whole on each stamp printed on the paper. The design can sometimes be seen by holding the stamp up to a light. The normal method for detecting watermarks is with the aid of special watermark detecting fluid and a small plastic tray.

A mark in fine papers, imparted during manufacture, that identifies a paper. It doesn't leave an impression in the paper; rather it leaves behind a translucent mark, as the paper is slightly thinner in the area of the watermark. Watermarks are formed by fine wire figures placed on the papermaking screen.
A design created in the paper when manufactured, it was created in hand-made paper by wires bent into the desired maker's pattern being placed on the rack prior to the deposit of the fibres for the construction of the paper. Whilst helpful in identifying the date of paper, it must be remembered that some paper survived in publishing houses long after the date of manufacture.

Design applied to the surface of the paper mould which causes less pulp to be distributed in that area and results in the transfer of the design to the finished sheet.

These patterns can be used to detect unauthorized copies. 'Watermark' images may also be embedded into web pages.
