Detailed explanations of how these and other settings affect your print jobs are
provided in subsequent sections of this chapter.
Combine Separations
The Combine Separations setting allows you to specify how to print separated CMYK
data. The Combine Separations options are:
•
Off
prints each separation individually.
•
On
combines separations as a single, composite-color document, and automatically
makes these settings for the following print options: Color Mode (CMYK),
Rendering Style (None), Pure Black Text/Graphics (Off ), Spot Color Matching
(Off ), and Black Overprint (Off ).
For information about using the Combine Separations option with applications such
as Adobe Photoshop, see the
Spot Color Matching
