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:
Grayscale
Grayscale 100K
Composite RGB
Composite CMYK
Composite CMYK and Spot
As Is
In-RIP Separations
To create an output setup, choose Edit > Color Setups > Output.
Sharing source and output setups
Source setups and output setups are portable, so color experts can easily distribute
them to users and workgroups. Source setups can be appended from other projects
and output setups can be exported as individual files and saved in output styles. Both
types of setups, source and output, can be shared through inclusion in Job Jackets.
Before distributing setups to a workgroup or to clients, be sure to test the setups with
typical jobs.
To share setups, append setups, export setups, or import setups, choose Edit > Color
Setups and modify the corresponding setting.
To incorporate setups into Job Jackets and specify the source and output setups used
in a Job Jackets structure or Job Ticket, in the Job Jacket Manager dialog box (Utilities
menu):
1
(Windows only) Click the Advanced Settings button.
2
Select a project that contains source or output setups in the list on the left.
3
Drag the source or output setups to the target Job Jackets structure or Job Ticket.
You can also choose an output style that includes specific output setups.
To use a custom output setup for printing or other types of output, choose that output
setup from the Setup drop-down menu in the Color pane of the Output Styles dialog
box (Edit > Output Styles > New/Edit).
