d. Select the
Always Use Color Combiner to Convert Spots
check
box.
e. Close the process template.
4. Click
OK
to close the Start Process dialog box.
The proof process occurs. 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.
●
If you used the Color Separations dialog box to reduce or map spot colors at
any time before generating final output, the settings in that dialog box will
apply to the final output.
Reducing individual spot colors in imposition output
Use this procedure to reduce spot colors in impositions proofs—for
example, when pages have spot colors that will be plated but 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. Switch to the
Signatures
view, and select the surfaces or signatures
that you want to proof.
2. Reduce individual spot colors using the Color Separations dialog
box:
a. From the
Edit
menu, select
Color Separations
.
The Color Separations dialog box appears.
b. Select the spot color, and then select an option in the
Output
Selected As
list:
