Importing output setups
If output setups are created for you, import them through the Output Setups dialog
box (Edit > Color Setups > Output). Use the Import button to navigate to and select
the output setup files.
Selecting source setups and output setups
To use custom source setups and output setups, you choose them from various color
management menus as follows:
• Color sources: To use a custom source setup, choose it from the Source Setup
drop-down menu in the Color Manager pane of the Preferences dialog box
(QuarkXPress/Edit menu) for the layout.
• Color display: To use a custom output setup for proofing, choose it from the Proof
Output submenu of the View menu.
• Color output: To use a custom output setup for printing or other types of output,
choose it from the Setup drop-down menu in the Colors pane of the Print dialog
box (File > Print).
Working with source and output setups in Job Jackets
When you create a project from a Job Jackets file, the appropriate source setups and
output setups are included and selected for you. You can still import, append, and
create additional setups, and select those setups for display and output.
Working in a legacy color management environment
You can open projects from QuarkXPress 7.x, 8.x, or 9.x, and be confident that color
will display and output as it always has.
You can continue to work in a legacy color management environment from
QuarkXPress versions 7.x, 8.x, or 9.x. If you choose to work in a legacy color
management environment, you can still take advantage of the soft proofing features
in QuarkXPress.
You can easily upgrade to the QuarkXPress 7 methods by changing the Source Setup
to QuarkXPress 7.0 Default (or to a custom option) in Color Manager preferences
(QuarkXPress/Edit menu > Preferences). The Source Setup is layout specific, so if
you open a project with multiple layouts, you can change the source setup for each
layout. Then, make sure any output setups you use (Edit > Color Setups > Output)
specify QuarkXPress 7.0 Default profiles rather than profiles from previous versions.
Proofing color on screen (soft proofing)
QuarkXPress provides display simulation that is accurate enough for soft proofing a
range of output. Using the information in the source setup, output setup, and any
other custom settings (such as different profiles applied to pictures), the flexible
simulation options show how the same layout will look when output to different
media and for different printing methods.
To perform soft proofing, choose an option from the Proof Output submenu of the
View menu. The menu lists all the output setups available in the layout, so if you have
imported custom output setups from a color expert, they are listed here. When you
