A generic Hexachrome printer profile is also available for six-color (CMYKOG)
output when a more suitable profile for your separations printer is not available. A
Hexachrome profile separates documents to six-color output but displays RGB
colors according to the monitor profile and CMYK colors according to the default
(CMYK) printer profile. Colors print as follows:
•
Hexachrome process colors print using the defined Hexachrome values. RGB
process colors and RGB TIFFs separate into Hexachrome colors.
•
CMYK process colors and CMYK TIFFs remain unchanged when printing
as Hexachrome. CMYK colors do not appear on the orange plate or the
green plate.
•
Spot colors (CMYK or RGB) print on their separate plates. If Print Spot Colors
as Process is selected (in the Separations panel of the Print Setup dialog box),
the colors separate to CMYK values.
If you are printing proofs of simulated four-color separations on a composite
printer, you can also choose a printer profile to specify the type of printer that will
be used to print the proofs. The Composite Printer options include ICC-
compatible CMYK and RGB printer profiles.
For either the Separations Printer or the Composite Printer profile, the Default
(CMYK) option provides acceptable results for most printers. However, for more
precise color management, you should choose a device-specific profile.
