In the case of calligraphic works, the seals are usually stamped either on the blank space at the beginning of the handscroll or after the colophon at the end. If the seal is placed too close to the colophon the scroll will lack "breathing space," and if too far away it will just look like some disembodied afterthought.
在書法作品中，印多蓋在字首或落款後壓角處，與落款靠得太近，則缺乏「呼吸空間」，令畫面不暢；離字太遠，又顯得突兀空洞。
