c. Determine how you want to reduce the spot colors:
To
Do This
Convert all spot
colors to process
color
a. In the
Spot Color Handling
list, select
Convert
to Process
.
b. Select the
Always Use Color Combiner to
Convert Spots
check box.
Omit all spot
colors from the
proof
In the
Spot Color Handling
list, select
Don't
Output
.
The options available in the
Spot Color Handling
list depend on
the output type.
d. Close the process template.
4. Click
OK
to close the Start Process dialog box.
The proof process occurs, applying the settings of both the loose
page output process template and the Color Output dialog box. The
proof is generated.
Tip:
●
You can modify and save the process template before you start. Start the
process using the modified process template, and do not click
Edit Process
Template
in the Start Process dialog box.
●
You can also use this procedure to omit a process color from a proof. Instead
of selecting a spot color in the Color Output dialog box, select a process color
and set the
Output Selected as
list to
Do Not Output
.
●
To quickly set several colors to the same setting in the Color Output dialog
box, select them all and then select an option in the
Output Selected as
list.
●
If you edit the process template from the Start Process dialog box and use the
Color Output dialog box, the most recently applied settings take precedence.
Reducing individual spot colors in loose page output
Use this procedure for spot colors that are difficult to proof.
CAUTION: If the spot colors will never be plated, reduce them during refine
whenever possible. Color conversion is more predictable during refine than during
other processes.
1. Select the pages that you want to proof.
2. Start a loose page output process on the selected files by dragging
the pages to the loose page output process template.
3. Preserve most spot colors by setting options in the process
template:
a. In the Start Process dialog box, click
Edit Process Template
.
b. Expand the
Render
section.
