Chapter 2: Printing to Splash Page 31 Setting Other Splash Options This section describes other Splash options you can apply to your print jobs. Spool Options Splash provides three options for handling the PostScript spool file that is created when you print to Splash: s s Print and Delete automatically deletes the spool file after printing the job. Print and Save saves the spool file after printing. The job is transferred to the Hold queue with the message "PostScript spool file saved as requested. " Send and Hold sends the spool file directly to the Hold queue after is received by the Splash Server. s Saving the spool file is useful when small quantities of the same file must be printed occasionally. You can change print options for the saved spool file before printing with the Splash Server application. See the Splash DC Series v4. 0 Set-Up Manual for information. Note: Saved spool files remain in the Hold queue until you delete them. To delete a spool file: s s s Select it in the Splash Server Hold queue, then press the Delete key. Drag the spool file to the trash. Separations Some applications, most notably page layout applications such as PageMaker and QuarkXPress, can produce "separations" as printed output. These are intended to be imaged on film imagesetters and thus each page is converted to one or more (usually four) output grayscale "pages. " If you print separations to a printer that does not have a special separations feature, you will get one grayscale page per color in the original page. The Splash Server has the ability to re-composite these individual pages back into a single color page to produce a real proof (equivalent to the proof that would be produced from the films via conventional means). The primary benefit of separations is to show overprinted objects with the proper colors and to make trapping visible. Page 32 Printing to Splash v4. 0 From Windows 95/98 The Splash Separations print option prints a composite page from applications that support separations printing. s Select Automatic to apply the Splash Separations feature to all your separations print jobs automatically. This option supports CMYK plates plus any number of plates in PANTONE, Toyo, HKS, or DIC (if these press colors are supported by your separations application). This option supports separations generated by any application. When this is selected, Splash supports the full range of PANTONE, Toyo, HKS, or DIC colors and tints in your documents. Note: The Splash Separations feature does not accurately represent traps or overprints composed of a PANTONE, Toyo, HKS, or DIC color. Note: Due to limitations in PageMaker and QuarkXpress, RGB graphics are converted to CMYK and therefore look similar. RGB images are converted to grayscale and appear as gray in the output. s Select None to disable the Splash Separations feature for a job. The remaining options, QuarkXPress 3. 0 Style, QuarkXPress 4. 0 Style, PageMaker Style, FreeHand Style, and Canvas Style use a separations technique from version 1. 0 of the Splash software. [. . . ] If your print job specified multiple copies, FreeHand transfers the page count to the "Error" page. This results in multiple prints of the error message page. When you print to Splash from FreeHand 7 on a PC running Windows 95/98, do not select the "Use PPD" checkbox in the print dialog box. When this checkbox is selected, the Splash print options are not sent with your print jobs. [. . . ]
