When a pamphlet or other multicolour piece of printing is to be produced the colours are applied at different stages in the printing process. The yellows are to be separate from the reds unless an orange is desired, the blue away from the yellow unless a green is appropriate etc..

This obviously requires a careful alignment of the various printing rollers (each with a different colour).

To assist the press-men the design will have small blocks of colour at one side showing where each colour is being applied. If the red is too high up on the page the roller can be adjusted so the colour is applied where it belongs. This is usually done on the fly so the first part of the run is close to exact but not good enough to send out.

If you spread out any coloured container (a cereal box) you will see the coloured registration marks on one edge.
