How do you protect a document? The answer is printing watermarks. This feature alters all printed documents to have a dynamic watermark containing user data. This can be applied to any printed document whether printed via a physical printer or into a PDF/XPS document.

What is a Printing Watermark? A printing watermark is a unique design, logo, or text embedded on a document.
