for named colors (such as Pantone Process Coated colors) and inks (such as
cyan, magenta, yellow, black, and multi-inks). You might create source setups
for clients based on their standard workflows, or you might create source setups
for a specific project.
To get started in creating a source setup, you will need to know some details
about the hardware and software involved in a client’s workflow — what type of
digital camera and scanner they use, for example — and you’ll need to make
sure the relevant profiles are available. It’s also helpful to see sample projects
so you know what types of pictures, colors, inks, and devices they’re working
with, such as logos, charts and graphs, photographs, and duotones, and output
to SWOP.
To create a source setup choose Edit > Color Setups > Source.
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
