9-1 Working with illustration applications
This chapter provides instructions for using Illustrator for Windows and Mac OS,
FreeHand for Windows and Mac OS, and CorelDRAW for Windows and Mac OS.
Before printing from these applications, make sure the appropriate PostScript
printer driver and the Fiery 3850C PPD are installed on your computer, as described
in Getting Started.
Working with illustration applications
You can print directly from an illustration application or use it to create and save files
that will be imported into a page layout document. To print from an illustration
application, use the printer driver and the print settings recommended in Chapter 1.
NOTE: These application notes provide instructions for printing composites only.
For instructions on printing color separations, refer to the documentation for
your application.
As a general rule, use the EPS file format when saving files with an illustration
application.
Defining colors
All illustration applications use the CMYK color model. While some also allow you
to define colors using other color models, they all send CMYK data to the
Fiery 3850C. Consequently, the RGB Source and Rendering Style settings in the PPD
do not affect all colors printed from illustration applications. For predictable results
with CMYK colors, use the CMYK Color Reference pages when defining colors (see
“Choosing colors in PostScript applications” on page 5-5).
NOTE: If you define colors in RGB and print directly from the application, the
application converts the RGB data to CMYK before sending it to the Fiery 3850C.
This conversion by the application will determine which Fiery 3850C print options
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 Fiery 3850C, the Pure Black Text/Graphics option in the PPD will have no effect
when you print the job.
You can also choose named colors from the PANTONE color library. See page 5-6.
