Note: InDesign cannot always change the data format used by EPS or DCS graphics files. If you experience problems
sending data as Binary, try changing the data format of EPS or DCS graphics in the source application instead.
Options for omitting graphics
The OPI options in the Advanced area let you selectively omit different imported graphics types when sending image
data to a printer or file, leaving only the OPI links (comments) for later handling by an OPI server.
OPI Image Replacement Enables InDesign to replace low-resolution EPS proxies of graphics with high-resolution
graphics at output time. For OPI image replacement to work, the EPS file must contain OPI comments that link the
low-resolution proxy image to the high-resolution image. InDesign must have access to the graphics linked by the
OPI comments. If the high-resolution versions are not available, InDesign preserves the OPI links and includes the
low-resolution proxy in the export file. Deselect this option to have an OPI server replace OPI-linked graphics later
in the workflow.
Omit For OPI Lets you selectively omit different imported graphics types (EPS, PDF, and bitmap images) when
sending image data to a printer or file, leaving only the OPI links (comments) for later handling by an OPI server.
The comments contain the information needed to locate a high-resolution image on an OPI server. InDesign only
includes the comments; the service provider must have access to the original high-resolution image on a server at
replacement time. The Omit For OPI option doesn’t apply to embedded graphics.

Managing color
Use color management when printing
When you print a color-managed document, you can specify additional color management options to keep color
consistent in the printer output. For example, suppose that your document currently contains a profile tailored for
prepress output, but you want to proof the document colors on a desktop printer. In the Print dialog box, you can
convert the document’s colors to the color space of the desktop printer; the printer profile will be used instead of the
current document profile. If you select the Proof color space and target an RGB printer, InDesign converts color data
to RGB values using the selected color profiles.
When printing to a PostScript printer, you also have the option of using PostScript color management. In this
instance, InDesign sends the document’s color data in a calibrated version of its original color space, along with the
document profile, directly to the PostScript printer and lets the printer convert the document to the printer color
space. The printer’s color space is stored at the device as a color rendering dictionary (CRD); this makes device-
independent output possible. CRDs are PostScript equivalents of color profiles. The exact results of the color
conversion can vary among printers. To use PostScript color management, you must have a printer that uses
PostScript Level 2 or higher; it is not necessary to install an ICC profile for the printer on your system.
1 Make sure that you’ve installed the correct driver and PPD for your printer.
2 Choose File > Print.
3 If a printer preset has the settings you want, choose it in the Printer Preset menu at the top of the Print dialog box.
4 Adjust settings as desired for this document.
5 Click Color Management on the left side of the Print dialog box.
