Steps for producing color separations
You can color-separate a document from InDesign, or prepare a document for in-RIP
separations. To produce in-RIP separations, you need the following software and
hardware:
A PPD file that supports in-RIP separations.
•
Any PostScript 3 output device, or a PostScript Level 2 device whose RIP supports in-RIP
•
separations.
Once you've created separations of the InDesign document, the settings you've chosen in
the Print dialog box are saved with the separated file. If you open a file that has never been
separated in InDesign, the program returns to the default settings. To quickly apply
custom separation settings to a document, use a printer style.
To prepare your document for color separations:
1 Correct any color problems in your artwork. (See
on page 417.)
2 Set overprint options. (See
page 418.)
3 Specify the appropriate printer's marks and bleed options. (See
marks" on page 420, and
4 Create trapping instructions to compensate for misregistration on press. (See
a document" on page
Note: Steps 1–4 are recommended but not required in producing color separations.
5 If you've created a printer style with the appropriate separation settings, select it in the
Printer Style menu at the top of the Print dialog box. (See
page 388.)

7 If you're printing to a PostScript file, choose the PPD for the device that will output the
separations.

box.
