Setting separations options
To print four-color documents with CMYK process color, you must create a color
separation, in which you separate the art into the colors used in the printing
process–cyan, magenta, yellow, black, and spot colors, if used.
When printing artwork, you can designate how to print a separation by
converting the color to either a spot or process color. You can set screen rulings for
each ink, and choose overprinting and halftone settings. (For more information
on overprinting, see “Overprinting” on page 405.) To set separations options, use
the Separations panel.
For information on converting between RGB and CMYK color modes, or
converting process colors to spot colors and vice versa, see “Converting between RGB
and CMYK” on page 266 and “Specifying colors as process or spot” on page 266.
Note: You must select a PostScript printer in the Print dialog box in order to use this
procedure.
To set separations options:
1 Choose File > Print or click the Print button in the Main toolbar and select a
PostScript printer from the Printer pop-up menu.
2 On the Macintosh, select FreeHand from the pop-up menu.
3 In Windows or on the Macintosh, click Setup.
