Printing color composites

To print composite color output (as opposed to color separations):

  1. Display the Color pane of the Print dialog box (File menu).
  2. Choose Composite from the Mode drop-down menu.
  3. Choose an option from the Setup drop-down list:
    • Grayscale
    • Composite CMYK
    • Composite RGB
    • Composite CMYK and Spot (prints with composite PostScript, for a device that supports In-RIP separations)
    • As Is (describes color items using their source color space, for output to a PostScript composite color device)
    Note: The Setup drop-down menu also contains all separations-based output setups listed in the Default Output Setups dialog box (Edit > Output Setups).
  4. Choose Conventional or Printer from the Halftones drop-down menu. The Conventional option uses QuarkXPress calculated halftone screen values. The Printer option uses halftone screen values provided by the selected printer; in this case, QuarkXPress does not send halftoning information.
  5. To specify a line frequency other than the default value, enter a lines per inch (lpi) value in the Frequency field, or choose an option from the Frequency drop-down menu.
