Adobe InDesign CS2, Duplex printing
When printing duplex with InDesign CS2, using InBooklet SE, the duplex print settings
produce the opposite result. When you select Top-Top, for example, the image prints Top-
Bottom, and vice versa. This problem is caused by the application incorrectly parsing the PPD
(printer description file) for the Fiery Color Server. At present, the only workaround is to
assign an Orientation override in Command WorkStation job properties (Layout tab).
Adobe InDesign CS2 and transparency
When printing images with transparent layers, the color output in a PDF file (created in
InDesign CS2) may not properly reproduce a transparent image. (This is because true
transparency is not supported with current versions of Adobe PostScript.) When processing
such files, the Fiery Color Server automatically performs spot color matching, which applies a
tint to the image area designated as transparent. To work around this problem, turn Spot
Color Matching Off, to force the Fiery Color Server to use the correct CMYK alternate in
generating color output. To access Spot Color Matching in printer driver, select
ColorWise > Expert Settings.
Adobe PageMaker and Booklet Maker
The Booklet Maker option is not supported for printing from PageMaker.
AutoCAD images in Microsoft PowerPoint
If you copy and paste an AutoCAD image into a PowerPoint presentation, you may find the
image does not print darkly enough. This is a limitation of the AutoCAD file, not the settings
on the Fiery Color Server. To resolve this problem, use one of the following methods:
• In PowerPoint, select the AutoCAD image, right-click and select Format picture. On the
Color tab, set Brightness to 25% and Contrast to 90%. This may be the quickest solution.
• In ColorWise Pro Tools, create a new color profile that makes adjustments for this type of
file and imported graphic(s). The new color profile should have higher intensity for
highlight areas, to darken the light gray lines in the AutoCAD image. You will need to
experiment to see what adjustments yield the desired result.
Adobe Freehand MX, PostScript vs. PCL printer driver
To print from Freehand on a Windows system, use the PostScript printer driver rather than
the PCL printer driver.
Adobe FreeHand MX, Vector fonts
In files generated in FreeHand MX, vector fonts (or “outline fonts”) may appear blurry when
compared to fonts in the rest of the document. This is a limitation of the application, where
vector fonts appear to be thicker than equivalent bitmap fonts.
