Composite
The Composite radio button prints the process color elements of your
Printing
publication on one page. Where as the Separations radio button
prints the process color elements of you publications onto 4 for
separate pages. The pages will represent one of the four colors used
to create process color: they are Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black.
If you use any non-process colors in your publication, PageMaker will
covert the colors to the closest process equivalent before printing:
If you are printing to a PostScript printer, PageMaker will display Color
or Grayscale depending on the capabilities of the printer PPD you
have selected.
The Color Composite option allows you to print a color composite of
a color publication on a desktop printer. The color composite can be
used as a final print if you are not planning to print your publication
with a commercial printer who uses printing inks rather than toner or
ink cartages. However, if you plan to take your publication to a
commercial printer, you can print a color composite to verify that the
correct colors are applied to your objects and to get a sense of how
the final printed publication will look. The level of accuracy to the final
printing press print will depend on your output device and how it has
been calibrated.
The Grayscale Composite allows you to print visually correct grays of
colored elements. For example, since yellow is visually lighter than
black, the gray that prints to simulate the 20% tint of yellow is lighter
than the gray that prints to show the 20% tint of black.
Note: The Allow Printer Halftones check box in the Print Color dialog
box allows you to use the printer drivers halftone settings print
halftones instead of the PageMaker Image Control settings:
Black and
The Print Colors in Black option allows you to print colors as a tint of
White
black. For example, if you specified a 20% tint of black and a 20% tint
Printing
of a green, the 20% tints of black and green would be identical as
identical tints when the publication is printed:
