Options Guide
Presets
Quick-start templates for common slugline formats: press sheet, job ticket, color proof, bindery, and more.
Each preset populates the template and job info fields with industry-standard slugline content. Customize further after selecting. Press preset includes job name, color, date; Bindery preset adds fold/bind instructions; Color proof preset includes proof number and approval fields.
Template
Compose the slug text using free text and dynamic variable tokens that auto-fill at output time.
Available tokens: [file-name] (source filename), [page-number] (current page), [page-count] (total pages), [sheet-number] (sheet index), [timestamp] (date/time). Combine freely: "Job: [file-name]:Sheet [sheet-number] of [sheet-count]:[timestamp:%Y-%m-%d]". Click variable buttons to insert tokens at the cursor position.
Job Info
Structured fields for common production details: job number, client, color, operator.
Fill in the fields relevant to your production workflow. These values are inserted into the template where the corresponding variables appear. Leave unused fields empty: they won't appear in the output. Job number and client name are the most commonly used fields in commercial print workflows.
Placement
Position the slugline along a page edge: typically the bottom or left side, outside the trim area.
Choose which edge of the page receives the slugline. The text is placed in the slug area beyond the bleed boundary, ensuring it's visible on the press sheet but trimmed away in the finished product. Left or bottom edges are most common. Rotation allows vertical text along side edges.
Appearance
Configure font, size, color, and style of the slugline text.
Standard PDF fonts are available (Helvetica, Times, Courier families). Size: 6–8pt is typical for sluglines: small enough not to waste paper but legible for press operators. Color: light gray (#999999) or process black for visibility without being obtrusive. Some shops prefer color-coded sluglines (cyan for job info, magenta for bindery notes).
Pages
Specify which pages to process using a range expression.
Examples: 'all' = every page. '1-5' = pages 1 through 5. '1,3,5' = specific pages. '1-10 odd' = odd pages 1-9. '2-20 even' = even pages 2-20. 'last' = last page. 'last-2' = third from last. Ranges are 1-based. Combine with commas: '1-5, 8, 12-15'.

Configurations & Variations
Full Job Info Slugline
Enter full job identification in the template field. Example: Job #1234 / Heidelberg SM74 / 2026-03-19 / Plate: CMYK. This text prints in the slug area outside the trim zone and is the press operator's primary reference for identifying the job on the press floor.

Expert Tip
Put the job number, version, and date in the slug area. When proofs pile up on the press floor, the slugline is the only reliable way to identify which file version you are looking at.
Some RIPs clip content outside the MediaBox. Make sure sluglines fall inside the bleed or slug box, not beyond it.
