Adobe Illustrator 7.0 for Mac OS and Windows
CMYK simulation
You can specify a press simulation target for the job with print option (see page 2-10).
The CMYK Simulation setting affects all CMYK color data sent by the illustration
application.
• If the document contains CMYK images that were separated for an offset press
standard, apply the corresponding CMYK Simulation setting. For example, for
images separated for SWOP, choose SWOP-Coated as the CMYK Simulation
setting.
• If the document contains CMYK images that were separated for a custom separation
(not a press standard), choose None as the CMYK Simulation setting or choose the
corresponding custom simulation target.
Adobe Illustrator 7.0 for Mac OS and Windows
The Windows and Mac OS versions of Illustrator 7.0 are essentially identical. The
illustrations in this section show only the Windows version, with the exception of
instances where differences exist between the two versions.
Defining colors
Any colors defined in Illustrator are sent to the printer in CMYK—even those defined
using other color models. For best results, use the color definition methods described
on “Choosing colors in PostScript applications” on page 3-4.
Color Settings
You can control the conversion of RGB colors defined in Illustrator by specifying
settings in the Color Settings dialog box.
With Mac OS computers, you can specify the EFIRGB ICC profile as the Monitor
profile. This defines the same source color space for RGB data defined in Illustrator as
is defined by the DocuColor 40 CP RGB Source setting of EFIRGB (see Chapter 2).
