Xerox DocuColor 12 Printer with Fiery X12 Folheto

This chapter provides instructions for using Adobe Illustrator for Windows and 
Mac OS, Macromedia 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 PPD are installed on your computer as described in Getting 
Started. 

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. 

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.

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. 
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).

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. This 
conversion by the application will determine which Fiery 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, the 
Pure Black Text/Graphics option in the PPD will have no effect when you print the 
job.
