Info

Device • Use either the printer’s (e.g., <strong>iGen</strong>3 ® ) PPD (supplied by your print provider) or the Acrobat Distiller PPD for your Printer Description. • Be sure the paper size under both the [Paper Size] in the print window and the [Paper] in the Page Setup window match. This will ensure that your document prints correctly. Also, check that the orientation is correct. 128 Digital Printing Reference
Output • Always Print Colors [As Is] to maintain original source color. Using a setting such as [Composite CMYK] will convert any non-CMYK colors (e.g., RGB images and graphic elements) to the Composite CMYK profile selected under Profiles tab. Instead, allow the printer (e.g., <strong>iGen</strong>3 ® or DocuColor ® 8000) to convert all colors (RGB and CMYK) from its source spaces to the printer’s destination space to render the best output. • Halftoning will be determined at the RIP. Note: • When Blends are made with PANTONE ® colors in Quark 7, they will print as RGB when the Print Colors selection is set to [As Is]. To preserve PANTONE Blends, set Print Colors to [Device N]. Using [Device N] will, however, convert any RGB text, objects and images to CMYK. Printing Digital Printing Reference 129
