� Note: You can have
InDesign maintain the existing colors used in a job by choosing Composite Leave Unchanged from the Color menu. Additionally, if you are a printer or service provider and need to print color separations from Adobe InDesign CS5, choose Separations or In-RIP Separations based upon the workflow that you use. Also, certain printers, such as an RGB proofer, may not let you choose Composite CMYK.
Choosing Composite CMYK causes any RGB colors, including those in RGB graphics, to be converted to CMYK at the time of printing. This setting does not change the original, placed graphics nor any colors applied to objects.
� Note: When printing to a PostScript file, the Send Data option is not available.
� Note: The Optimized Subsampling option cannot be selected if you are using the Device Independent PPD, because this generic driver can’t determine what information a specific printer chosen later may need.
8 On the left side of the Print dialog box, click the Graphics category. Choose Optimized Subsampling from the Send Data menu. When Optimized Subsampling is selected, InDesign sends only the image data necessary for the printer selected in the Print dialog box. This can speed up the time it takes to send the file to print. To have the complete high-resolution graphic information sent to the printer, which may take longer to image, select All from the Send Data menu. 9 Optionally, choose Subset from the Fonts Download menu. This causes only the fonts and characters that are actually used in the document to be sent to the output device and can speed the printing of single-page documents and short documents without much text. 10 On the left side of the Print dialog box, click the Advanced category and set the transparency flattener preset to Medium Resolution from the Preset menu. The flattener preset determines the print quality of placed artwork or images that include transparency. It also affects the print quality of objects using transparency features and effects applied to them within InDesign, including objects with drop shadows or feathering. You can choose the appropriate transparency flattener preset for your output needs. (The three default transparency flattener presets are explained in detail in a sidebar within the section called “Previewing how transparency effects will be flattened” earlier in this lesson.)
