Combine separations
The
Combine separations
option specifies how to print separated CMYK data.
You can combine Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Black separations.
•
Off
- Prints each separation individually.
•
On
- Combines separations as a single, composite-color document, and automatically sets the following print
options:
Color mode
(CMYK) and
Black overprint
(Off).
The results of combining the multiple plates are predictable and accurate, regardless of the original application used.
This feature also fully supports DCS 2.0 file formats when included in a PostScript print job from a page-layout
application.
The following applications have been tested with Mac OS and Windows for compatibility with the
Combine
separations
option:
• Adobe Illustrator
•
Adobe InDesign
•
Adobe PageMaker
•
QuarkXPress
Note:
You cannot use
Combine separations
at the same time that you use the following features:
Substitute colors
,
Composite overprint
,
Postflight
, or
Black overprint
.
Composite overprint
The
Composite overprint
print option allows you to print overprinted objects as specified in the source file.
When overlapping objects are printed, the foreground object can either overprint or knock out the background
object. With overprinting, the color of the background object shows through the foreground object where they
overlap, and the resulting color is a combination of the colors of the two objects. With a knockout, the foreground
object hides the background object where they overlap.
•
Off
- An overprinted object knocks out a background object.
•
On
- The area of overlap between two overprinted objects is a blend of the two colors.
Note:
The
Composite overprint
option does not overprint the foreground object if it is an RGB object.
The
Composite overprint
print option is supported for PostScript and PDF jobs produced by the following
applications:
•
Adobe Acrobat
•
Adobe Illustrator
•
Adobe InDesign
•
QuarkXPress
•
CorelDRAW
You cannot use
