Working with page layout applications
This chapter provides instructions for printing color documents from Adobe
PageMaker 7.x and 6.5, QuarkXPress 4.02, and QuarkXPress 3.32.
Before printing from these applications, make sure the appropriate printer driver
and the Fiery 3850C PPD are installed on your computer, as described in Getting
Started.
Working with page layout applications
The following sections apply to all page layout applications.
Defining colors
Page layout applications generally use the CMYK color model. Some allow you to
define colors with other color models and may be able to send that data to the
Fiery 3850C in those other color models. However, CRDs (which affect only RGB
data) usually do not affect colors defined in page layout applications. For predictable
results with CMYK colors, use the CMYK Color Reference when defining colors in
page layout applications. See “Choosing colors in PostScript applications” on page 5-5.

:
If the application allows you to define colors in RGB, you should determine
whether it converts the RGB data to CMYK before sending it to the Fiery 3850C. If it
does, this will determine which Fiery 3850C print options affect your job. For
example, if the application converts RGB black (defined in the document as R0%,
G0%, B0%) to four-color CMYK black when it sends the job to the Fiery 3850C, the
Pure Black Text/Graphics option will have no effect when you print the job.
You can also choose named colors from the PANTONE color library. See “PANTONE
Coated Color Reference” on page 5-6.
