To include printer's marks on the separations:
1 Choose File > Print.
2 Click Marks & Bleeds on the left side of the Print dialog box.
3 Select either All Printer's Marks or individual marks.
Specifying the bleed area
The bleed is the amount of artwork that falls outside the printing bounding box, or
outside the crop marks. You can include bleed in your artwork as a margin of error—to
ensure that the ink still extends to the edge of the page after the page is trimmed or to
ensure that an image can be stripped into a keyline in a document. Once you create the
artwork that extends into the bleed, you can use InDesign to specify the extent of the
bleed. Files saved in PostScript file format allow capable post-processing programs to
implement their own variable bleed. (See
Changing the bleed moves the crop marks farther from or closer to the image; the crop
marks still define the same size printing bounding box, however.
To specify the bleed area:
1 Choose File > Print.
2 Click Marks & Bleeds on the left side of the Print dialog box.
3 Enter values from 0 to 6 inches (or equivalent) for the Top, Bottom, Left, and Right text
boxes (for single-sided documents), or Top, Bottom, Inside, and Outside (for double-sided
documents with facing pages). These values specify the placement of the Bleed marks.
Note: Bleed marks appear only if you select the Bleed Marks option in the
Marks & Bleeds panel.
Specifying which colors to separate
Each separation is labeled with the color name that InDesign assigned it. If an icon of a
printer appears next to the color name, InDesign creates a separation for the color. Any
spot inks—including those defined and used in imported PDF files or EPS graphics—also
appear in the ink list.
To specify whether to create a separation for a color:
1 In the Output panel of the Print dialog box, select Separations or, if you use a PPD file
that supports in-RIP separations, select In-RIP Separations.
2 Do one of the following:
By default, InDesign creates a separation for every process and spot color in the
•
document. To create a separation, make sure that the printer icon is displayed next to
the color name in the ink list.
To choose not to create a separation, click the printer icon next to the color's name. The
•
printer icon disappears, and no separation is created.
