For optimal output on a PostScript printer, the image resolution should be 1.5 to 2 times the halftone screen frequency.
If the resolution is more than 2.5 times the screen frequency, an alert message appears. If you are printing line art or
printing to a non-PostScript printer, see your printer documentation for the appropriate image resolutions to use.

Print separations from Photoshop
When preparing your image for prepress and working with CMYK images or images with spot colors, you can print
each color channel as a separate page.
Note: Separations from CMYK, Duotone, or multi-channel documents printed on non-Postscript printers may not be
identical to those printed on Postscript printers.
Each color channel printed as a separate page.
Note: If you are printing an image from another application and want to print spot channels to spot color plates, you must
first save the file in DCS 2.0 format. DCS 2.0 preserves spot channels. This format is supported by applications such as
Adobe InDesign and QuarkXPress.
1
Make sure that your document is in CMYK Color or Multichannel mode, and then choose File
> Print.
2
Choose Separations from the Color Handling drop-down menu.
Note: Depending on the designated printer and printer drivers on your computer, these options may also appear in the
second Print dialog box (for setting printer options). In Windows, click the Properties button to access the printer driver
options; in Mac OS, use the pop-up menu in the second Print dialog box that appears.
