Chapter 6:
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 DocuColor 40 CP 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
DocuColor 40 CP 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 pages when
defining colors in page layout applications. See "Choosing colors in PostScript
applications" on page 3-4.
If the application allows you to define colors in RGB, you should determine
N :
OTE
whether it converts the RGB data to CMYK before sending it to the
DocuColor 40 CP. If it does, this will determine which DocuColor 40 CP color
controls affect your job. For example, if the application converts RGB black (defined in
your document as R0%, G0%, B0%) to four-color CMYK black when it sends the job
to the DocuColor 40 CP, the Pure Black Text and Graphics feature will have no effect
when you print the job.
You can also choose named colors from the PANTONE Coated library. See "Using the
PANTONE Coated color reference book" on page 3-6.

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.
