Working with PostScript applications
Most applications used for illustration,
editing, and page
layout can create the PostScript information they send to a
PostScript printer or save in PostScript files. Illustrator,
Photoshop, PageMaker, QuarkXPress, and Macromedia FreeHand
are all PostScript applications.
PostScript applications work with color in many different ways.
Most allow you to choose
(by entering percentages
for cyan, magenta, yellow, and black), as well as
from a spot color system, such as PANTONE. When you print
composites, these applications send process-color equivalents for
named
to the Fiery. In some applications, you can also
choose colors using the
, or other color models.
Generally, PostScript applications send color information to the
Fiery as CMYK data. An exception to this is an RGB image placed
in a document, which is sent directly to the Fiery (unless you
specify special color management settings in the application). In
addition, some PostScript applications that allow you to define
colors in RGB or other color models also send data to the Fiery in

for printing to the Fiery. Displayed versions of colors you choose
