Proof the output on the printer (QuarkXPress, PS driver)
This example uses QuarkXPress 7 under Mac OS X, with the PostScript driver. Color management is done
by the printer's internal PostScript RIP.
The aim in this example is to create a concept proof of a press—in this case a Europe ISO Coated
FOGRA27 press. QuarkXPress will convert the document and its images to the ISO Coated space and
send it to the printer, which will convert it to its final colors emulating such a press. So there are two stages
of color conversion involved.
1.
Initial recommendations:
●
Choose an appropriate paper type for the purpose.
●
The paper type should be calibrated and profiled with the printer and the print-quality level that
you intend to use. See
●
For a correct preview of the printed image, the monitor should also be profiled.
