A-8 Setting Print Options
Combine Separations
The Combine Separations option specifies whether to combine color separations
(created in desktop publishing applications such as QuarkXPress or Adobe PageMaker)
on a single page to simulate printing on a press from film separations. It allows you to
proof overprinting, trapping, and other four-color printing effects before having film
separations created. It also enables you to combine Desktop Color Separations (DCS)
format files to print them at full resolution instead of printing the low-resolution
master file. Selecting the appropriate color rendering dictionary (CRD) setting for the
type of image you are printing ensures optimum color output on the Fiery ZX.
Your job must have been printed as color separations or DCS format when you printed
it from your application. If you did not print the job in this manner, the Combine
Separations option has no effect.
Media Type
The Media Type option allows you to select the type of media for loading into the
manual feed tray.
Plain Paper—Standard bond paper from 16 lb to 28 lb (60 g/m
2
to 105 g/m
2
).
Thick Paper—Paper heavier than 28 lb, up to 90 lb Index (163 g/m
2
).
Transparency—Transparency sheets.
Interleaved—Multiple transparency sheets inserted with blank, plain paper separators.
With Interleaved selected, the transparencies are fed from the bypass tray and the paper
separators are fed from the paper tray.
Rendering Style
Use this option to select a default color rendering dictionary (CRD) to be used when
you print RGB images, objects, and text.
Photographic—Optimizes the range of colors on the Fiery ZX to produce the best
results for photographic or bitmapped images.
Presentation—Optimizes the output of pure, saturated colors such as those used in
business presentations.
Solid Color—Most useful for printing spot colors such as those found in company
logos or corporate charts and graphs.
