22-5 PostScript applications PostScript applications Most applications used for illustration, pixel editing, and page layout can create the PostScript information they send to a PostScript printer or save in PostScript files. Illustrator, Photoshop, PageMaker, QuarkXPress, and Macromedia FreeHand are all PostScript applications. PostScript applications work with color in many different ways. Most allow you to choose process colors (by entering percentages for cyan, magenta, yellow, and black), as well as named colors from a spot color system, such as PANTONE. When you print composites, these applications send process-color equivalents for named spot colors to the Color Server. In some applications, you can also choose colors using the RGB, HSB, HSL, or other color models. Generally, PostScript applications send color information to the Color Server as CMYK data. An exception to this is an RGB image placed in the document, which is sent directly to the Color Server (unless you specify special color management settings in the application.) In addition, some PostScript applications that allow you to define colors in RGB or other color models can also send data to the Color Server in those color spaces. Color controls in PostScript applications are typically designed for printing on an offset press, and some adjustments are required for printing to the Color Server. Displayed versions of colors you choose in these applications may not match Color Server output exactly, and named colors may not print accurately on the Color Server, since these colors typically require custom inks.

all PostScript applications.
