To Specify Imagesetter Resolution and Screening

You can specify the imagesetter resolution and screen requirements. RSG automatically optimizes halftone screen rulings and angles for the chosen imagesetter, the chosen resolution, and the chosen options. In this process RSG uses data provided by the current MPD file.

NOTE: The screen settings in the Process Color Separation Specs dialog box override any other screen settings for objects and images (via the Pen Screen, Fill Screen, Text Screen, Gradient Screen or Image Screen dialog boxes) which are to be process color separated.

  1. Click Process Seps in the Printer Setup dialog box.

  2. Choose the resolution of the imaging device.

  3. Choose the screen ruling. As you choose a value the actual screen rulings and angles for C, M, Y, and K appear in the box below the popup menu.

  4. Choose the paper type (for the eventual print process, not for the imaging device) from the Stock menu.

  5. Choose the halftone dot shape from the Shape menu. If your pages contain images which have pure black and white, where you do not want any cyan, magenta or yellow dots to appear in the separations, check No Undercolor for Pure Black.

  6. Click OK
