Steps for producing color separations
You can color-separate a document from InDesign, or prepare a document for in-RIP
separations. To produce in-RIP separations, you need the following software and
hardware:
•
A PPD file that supports in-RIP separations.
•
Any PostScript 3 output device, or a PostScript Level 2 device whose RIP supports in-RIP
separations.
Once you’ve created separations of the InDesign document, the settings you’ve chosen in
the Print dialog box are saved with the separated file. If you open a file that has never been
separated in InDesign, the program returns to the default settings. To quickly apply
custom separation settings to a document, use a printer style.
To prepare your document for color separations:
1
Correct any color problems in your artwork. (See
“Checking colors in your document”
on page 417
.)
2
Set overprint options. (See
“Selecting overprint options for overlapping colors” on
page 418
.)
3
Specify the appropriate printer’s marks and bleed options. (See
“Specifying printer’s
marks” on page 420
, and
“Specifying the bleed area” on page 422
.)
4
Create trapping instructions to compensate for misregistration on press. (See
“Trapping
a document” on page 326
.)
Note:
Steps 1–4 are recommended but not required in producing color separations.
5
If you’ve created a printer style with the appropriate separation settings, select it in the
Printer Style menu at the top of the Print dialog box. (See
“Using styles for printing” on
page 388
.)
6
Choose a printer or PostScript
®
file in the Printer menu.
7
If you’re printing to a PostScript file, choose the PPD for the device that will output the
separations.
8
To view or change existing print options, click a panel on the left side of the Print dialog
box.
9
Before you deliver your document to a service provider, proof the separations. (See
“Proofing color separations” on page 425
.)
10
Print or save separations. (See
“Printing and saving separations” on page 425
.)
