Creating an output setup
An output setup describes the capabilities of various types of output devices and determines how colors are handled in various output scenarios. You can think of an output setup as “where colors are going.” An output setup specifies composite or separation output, the output mode, and an output profile. You create output setups both for display simulation using View > Proof Output and for actual output in print, PDF, and other formats.
As with source setups, to get started in creating an output setup, you need to know details about typical jobs, output methods, and equipment. For example, it’s helpful to know the name and have the profiles for any composite printing devices. QuarkXPress provides default output setups for various workflows: As Is, Composite CMYK, Composite CMYK and Spot, Composite Hexachrome, Composite RGB, Convert To Process, Grayscale, In-RIP Separations, and Process and Spot.
To create an output setup, choose Edit > Color Setups > Output.
