8-1 Working with page layout applications
This chapter provides instructions for printing color documents from Adobe
PageMaker 6.5, QuarkXPress 4.02, and QuarkXPress 3.32.
Before printing from these applications, make sure the appropriate printer
driver and the iR C2100/2100S PPD are installed on your computer as
described in Getting Started.
Working with page layout applications
The following sections apply to all page layout applications.
Defining colors
Page layout applications generally use the CMYK color model. Some allow
you to define colors with other color models and may be able to send that
data to the iR C2100/2100S in those other color models. Generally, however,
CRDs (which affect only RGB data) do not affect colors defined in page
layout applications. For predictable results with CMYK colors, use the
CMYK Color Reference when defining colors in page layout applications.
See “Choosing colors in PostScript applications” on page 5-5.
NOTE: If the application allows you to define colors in RGB, you should
determine whether it converts the RGB data to CMYK before sending it to
the iR C2100/2100S. If it does, this will determine which iR C2100/2100S
print options affect your job. For example, if the application converts RGB
black (defined in the document as R0%, G0%, B0%) to four-color CMYK
black when it sends the job to the iR C2100/2100S, the Pure Black Text/
Graphics option will have no effect when you print the job.
You can also choose named colors from the PANTONE color library. See
“PANTONE Coated Color Reference” on page 5-6.
Importing images
EPS and TIFF are the recommended formats for images imported into page
layout documents. Support for importing other file formats may be provided
by individual applications.
