Printing
Last updated 10/4/2014
• To create a gradient that separates on one piece of film between a spot color and white, create a gradient fill between
the spot color and the Paper swatch in the Swatches panel.
• If you create a gradient between two spot colors, you should assign different screen angles to those spot colors. If
two spot colors have the same screen angle, they will overprint each other. If you’re not sure what the angles should
be, consult with your prepress service provider.
Printing a composite
You can print a color or grayscale composite proof to check colors in your document. A composite image can help you
design and proof your layout before you print final (and costly) separations.
When InDesign prints a composite, it prints all of the colors used in the file on one plate, regardless of whether any
individual colors are selected.
Consider the following issues when printing composites:
• While no proof will give you an exact representation of your final output, you can greatly improve its accuracy by
calibrating all the devices you use to create a document (such as scanners, monitors, and printers). If the devices are
calibrated, the color management system can help you get predictable and consistent color.
• Any overprinting options that you’ve selected in the document will print correctly on a printer that supports
overprinting. Since most desktop printers don’t support overprinting, you can simulate the effects of overprinting
by selecting Simulate Overprint in the Output section of the Print dialog box.
Note: Selecting Simulate Overprint will convert spot colors to process colors for printing. If you intend to use a file for
separations on a RIP, or for final output, do not select this option.
• When you print to a black-and-white printer, InDesign produces a grayscale composite version of the pages. If the
document contains color, InDesign prints visually correct grays to simulate that color. For example, the gray that
simulates a 20% tint of yellow is lighter than a 20% tint of black, since yellow is visually lighter than black.
• When you print a book with chapters containing conflicting spot inks or trap styles, you can instruct InDesign to
synchronize settings with the master document.
• If you’re using color management with the Book feature, make sure that each document in the book uses the same
color management settings in the Color Settings dialog box.
Note: Remember that, like monitors, color printers vary greatly in color reproduction quality; thus, proofs from your service
provider are the best way to verify how the finished piece will look.
Preview color separations
You can preview color separations, ink coverage limits, and overprinting using the Separations Preview panel.
Previewing separations on your monitor lets you check the following:
Varnishes and other coatings Since varnishes are transparent, they can be difficult to preview on-screen. When you
preview a varnish separation by itself, the varnished areas appear in black.
Rich black Previewing separations lets you identify areas that will print as rich black, or process black (K) ink mixed
with color inks for increased opacity and richer color.
Ink coverage Too much ink on the paper can cause drying problems. Ask your commercial printer for the maximum
ink coverage of the press you will be printing on. You can then preview the document to identify areas where ink
coverage exceeds the press’s limit.
Overprinting You can preview how blending, transparency, and overprinting will appear in color-separated output.
