388 Corel Painter User Guide
• Enable the Color Quick Draw (Mac OS) or GDI Printing (Windows) option if
your printer is not a PostScript printer. Some common examples are the
Hewlett-Packard Deskjet, the Canon® Bubble Jet, and the EPSON Stylus®.
You cannot print separations to non-PostScript printers.
• Enable the Color PostScript option to print to a color PostScript device. The
Minolta QMS™ ColorScript and Tektronix® color thermal printers are
examples of color PostScript printers.
• Enable the Separations option to print separations. The output consists of four
pages, one each for cyan, magenta, yellow, and black. You can print separations
from Corel Painter with any PostScript device, including high-resolution
imagesetters.
• Enable the B & W PostScript option if you are printing on a black-and-white
PostScript laser printer.
Corel Painter places a color bar, registration marks, and color name on each of the
four separated plates.
4 If you want to use the Color Management System to control printing, click the
Toggle Color Correction icon on the vertical scroll bar so that the icon displays
color bars. For more information, refer to “Understanding Color Management” in
the Help.
Corel Painter uses the device’s default screening information to produce
high-quality color separations. If Output Preview is off when you save to EPS
format, Corel Painter uses the Color Studio separation tables with your
device’s default screening. For more information, see “Saving in EPS File
Format for Printing” in the Help.
