DisplayMaker Legacy ColorMark+ - User Guide

ICC Workflow 3-7
Laying Out a Document Since you will be printing separated output to the ColorSpan
server, it is important that no unsupported spot colors are speci-
fied within the document or within any graphic files that are
imported into or linked to the main document. If spot colors do
exist in, for example, various imported EPS graphics, the sepa-
rated output will consist of one for each process color plus one
for each spot color. In this case, the server will route the job to
the Attention queue with a disposition of Ink Mismatch, if the
job specifies ink colors not supported by the printer.

Printing Separations Most applications allow you to create separated output as an
option within the Print or Print Setup dialog boxes. Refer to
your application documentation for instructions. This method
should yield a multi-page single print job, rather than each color
plane in its own separate job.
There is no standard order in which applications output separa-
tion planes. The ColorSpan server determines which separation
it is receiving by looking for the following PostScript language
comment:
%%PlateColor: [Color Name]
where [Color Name] is the ink color name.
The current versions of the most common applications do insert
this comment into separated output.
When printing a job using ICC profiles, configure an Input Port
in System Control to use the ColorMark profile that corresponds
to the ICC profile you are using. This enables the linearization
data contained in the ColorMark profile to be applied to the
print job. Then print to this port. Once a job has been received
by the server, its profile cannot be changed from the profile
specified in the Port Configuration dialog box.
ICC and ColorMark profiles you create with the ColorMark+
software have the same file name, but different extensions:
◆ Sample ICC profile file name: CustomProfile.ICM
◆ Sample ColorMark profile file name: CustomProfile.CX
