Printing color separations
To print color separations:
1
Display the Color pane of the Print dialog box (File menu).
2
Choose Separation from the Mode drop-down menu.

Choose an option from the Setup drop-down list:
• The In-RIP Separations option prints all process and spot color plates and the output
is in the composite format. However, the PostScript file to be printed contains
separations information. The In-RIP Separations option must be selected only if you
are using a PostScript level 3 device. Note also that the Setup drop-down menu also
contains all separations-based output setups listed in the Default Output Setups dialog
box (Edit > Output Setups).

Choose an option from the Halftones drop-down menu:
• To use the halftone settings you specify, choose Conventional.
• To use the halftone settings built into the RIP, choose Printer. Choosing this option
disables the halftone controls in this pane.
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.

The list at the bottom of the Color pane displays the plates used in the layout, as well
as the default Halftone, Frequency, Angle, and Function settings. Generally, the
default settings in the plate list give you correct printing results. However, you may
need to adjust these settings for your particular circumstances. A dash in a column
indicates that the column entry is not editable.
• The Plate column lists spot colors and process inks in the document when you choose
Separations from the Mode drop-down menu. The Setup drop-down menu at the top
of the Color pane specifies which layout plates are listed.
