-
- 1. To create a color, choose Global/Edit Color Palette. Click on New.
- Type the color name. Define the color as separable. Set its values.
- Click on OK.
-
- 2. Choose Global/Configure Printer (or Printer Settings as applicable).
- Type "f[133]" without quotes into the Special text gadget to set all four
- plates to 133. But since you're doing seps, you need to set the angle and
- frequency. The syntax is "a[c,m,y,k],f[c,m,y,k]" where:
-
- a = angle
-
- f = frequency
-
- cmyk = the cyan, magenta, yellow and black angles and frequencies.
-
- Angles are measured in degrees, frequency in lpi. You should take the
- values from the PPD for your imagesetter in order to get good values.
- (Ask you service bureau for a PPD for their imagesetter.) This is =muhc=
- easer in 3.0. (You just choose the PPD from a file requester and
- PageStream does the rest.) But in 2.2, you have to hand enter the values.
