[. . . ] You can change print options for the saved spool file before printing with the Splash Server application. Note: Saved spool files remain in the Hold queue until you delete them. To delete a spool file: s s s Select it in the Splash Server Hold queue, then press the Delete key. Drag the spool file to the trash. Separations Some applications, most notably page layout applications such as PageMaker and QuarkXPress, can produce "separations" as printed output. These are intended to be imaged on film imagesetters and thus each page is converted to one or more (usually four) output grayscale "pages. " If you print separations to a printer that does not have a special separations feature, you will get one grayscale page per color in the original page. The Splash Server has the ability to re-composite these individual pages back into a single color page to produce a real proof (equivalent to the proof that would be produced from the films via conventional means). The primary benefit of separations is to show overprinted objects with the proper colors and to make trapping visible. Page 32 Printing to Splash v4. 0 From Windows 95/98 The Splash Separations print option prints a composite page from applications that support separations printing. s Select Automatic to apply the Splash Separations feature to all your separations print jobs automatically. This option supports CMYK plates plus any number of plates in PANTONE, Toyo, HKS, or DIC (if these press colors are supported by your separations application). When this is selected, Splash supports the full range of PANTONE, Toyo, HKS, or DIC colors and tints in your documents. Note: The Splash Separations feature does not accurately represent traps or overprints composed of a PANTONE, Toyo, HKS, or DIC color. Note: Due to limitations in PageMaker and QuarkXpress, RGB graphics are converted to CMYK and therefore look similar. RGB images are converted to grayscale and appear as gray in the output. s Select None to disable the Splash Separations feature for a job. The remaining options, QuarkXPress 3. 0 Style, QuarkXPress 4. 0 Style, PageMaker Style, FreeHand Style, and Canvas Style use a separations technique from version 1. 0 of the Splash software. These options require that the separations job be made up of exactly four process-color plates. If problems occur in the output when you print separations with "Automatic" selected, convert the colors in your document to four process plates then select the v1. 0 separations option that matches your application. Separations Notes: The Separations feature supports printing of high-resolution DCS (Desktop Color Separation) files. To print a high-resolution proof of a DCS file, activate the separations feature within your application and in the Splash driver print options dialog box. The Separations feature is not compatible with Adobe Separator separation jobs. To use separations with Adobe Illustrator (typically done with Adobe Separator), create an EPS and place it into either a QuarkXPress or PageMaker document. Do not choose the Cover Page option in your application's print dialog box when you print a separations job to Splash. The cover page is interpreted as a color plate, which causes unexpected results in the separations job. (This problem does not occur when the Print Cover Page option is active for the Splash Server application. ) Chapter 2: Printing to Splash Page 33 For best results, do not use the version 1. 0 separation options for files with spot colors. If your job reports a PostScript error printing a CMYK-only file (no spot colors) with the "Automatic" separation option, try printing with one of the version 1. 0 separation options. [. . . ] Earlier versions of this application may produce problems when you print to Splash. Chapter 4: Application Notes Page 55 FreeHand 7. x Notes If you select 2-Up or 4-Up printing for a FreeHand document the job prints the page borders only. If the printer/copier runs out of paper while printing an MacroMedia FreeHand document, Splash prompts you to add more paper to the tray, or cancel the print job. If you click the Cancel button to cancel the print job, FreeHand displays a second add paper message and then prints an "Error" page once you add paper to the tray. If your print job specified multiple copies, FreeHand transfers the page count to the "Error" page. [. . . ]
