◊ ( define - meta title "watermarks" )
◊ hanging - topic [ ( topic - from - metas metas ) ] { Avoid }
A ◊ em { watermark } is a notice ( e . g . , “ Draft , ” “ Confidential ” ) that ’ s printed in the background of a page . Often in six - inch letters . Diagonally . In red .
Watermarks interact poorly with the text , creating visual noise that distracts from reading . ( It ' s a variation of the problem noted in ◊ xref { rules and borders } . ) Also , watermarks can darken considerably when photocopied , aggravating the problem .
It ’ s hard to make watermarks look good . Better to convert the watermark text to a notice within the header or footer .
