Imposition Output process template and the Color Separations
dialog box. The proof is generated.
Tip:
●
The Color Separations dialog box does not work with PDF files that are
composite. Also, with vector files, you can do spot-to-spot mapping, but you
cannot omit spot colors or convert them to process color.
●
Changes made in the Color Separations dialog box affect all future imposition
output and final output.
●
You can also use the Color Separations dialog box to print separations. Select
the spot color, and select
Separately
in the
Output Selected As
list.
●
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.
