This tab contains settings with regards to Snippets. Snippets are the way how Printess allows buyers to change document layouts or insert Texts, images in the form of Stickers. Read more about Layout Snippets and Sticker Snippets.
Important: This is the tab you see if you are working on a normal document and want to use Snippets.
When Layout Snippets are inserted into a document they will by default be centered and resized until they completly fit the document. With these placement settings, you can change the focal point for insertion as well as the Fit mode (Fit or Fill) in the general document properties.
See here for more about Layout Snippets.
Activating the Layout Snippet Placement Margin settings allows you to define where a layout Snippet is placed on the page, as normally layout Snippets automatically fit to the page size.
The Placement Margin arrows next to each value input will tell Printess to bypass the Placement Margins in the respective direction for frames which have the Splitter or Dock to Bleed enabled in the Position tab, docking them to the bleed boundary rather than the Placement Margins. This feature can also be used to bypass the Add Gap Around frame border from the Splitter tool.
When Clip Base-Layer is checked, all frames on the base layer will be clipped to the user-defined Snippet placement margins. This enables the placement of Snippets with bleed at page edges or inside margins (without bleed).
Sometimes a Layout needs control over either the background color (if it needs to be printed e.g. a canvas) of the target document or the paper color (if the product color needs to change but not get printed e.g. a mug).
This can be set by switching one or both options on. Once set the paper color of any applied Layout Snippet will change the target documents paper color/background shape color to the paper color of the Layout Snippet.
Here you may set the scale at which Sticker Snippets will be added to the Buyer Side.
