Color accuracy using EPS or PDF images in page layout applications
Page layout applications such as Adobe InDesign and QuarkXPress do not
support color management of EPS, PDF, or grayscale files.
If you have to use such files, try to ensure that the EPS, PDF, or grayscale
images are already in the same color space that you intend to use later on
in Adobe InDesign or QuarkXPress. For instance, if your final goal is to print
the job in a press that follows the SWOP standard, convert the image into
SWOP when you create it.
The image is clipped
Clipping normally indicates a discrepancy between the actual printable
area on the loaded paper and the printable area as understood by your
software. You can often identify this kind of problem before printing by
previewing your print (see
Preview a print
on page
34
).
●
Check the actual printable area for the paper size you have loaded.
printable area = paper size – margins
●
Check what your software understands to be the printable area (which
it may call "printing area" or "imageable area"). For example, some
software applications assume standard printable areas that are larger
than those used in this printer.
