  6. Desktop Publishing Lesson 3 Color Printing • Screen color often does not equal printed color • Computer screens emit color using RGB; ink on paper uses CMYK • CMYK = Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Black • (K distinguishes black from blue, and it is also the “key” color) • Printing documents in CMYK involves printing each sheet four • times (once in each color) • Documents must be “separated” into constituent colors • Most Windows programs make no attempt to separate colors, and • so most printers use the Apple Macintosh for color matching • Microsoft Publisher ($129) and Adobe Acrobat ($249) can separate • colors for Windows users • Talk to your printer about colors and separations beforehand! 6

  7. Desktop Publishing Lesson 3 Color Printing • Additive Color (RGB) • The way color is presented on the computer screen • The 3 colors projected combine to make white • Red + Blue = Magenta • Red + Green = Yellow • Blue + Green = Cyan 7

  8. Desktop Publishing Lesson 3 Color Printing • Subtractive Color (CMYK) • First used by Frenchman Jacques-Christophe Le Blond in 1719! • The way color is represented on paper • Inks absorb color, so a combination of all is black • Cyan + Yellow = Green • Cyan + Magenta = Blue • Magenta + Yellow = Red 8

  9. Desktop Publishing Lesson 3 Color Printing • The range of possible colors is called a gamut. • Neither screen colors nor printed colors approach the range of • color visible to the eye. • The RGB color gamut exceeds the CMYK color gamut. A. RGB color gamut B. CMYK color gamut 9

  10. Desktop Publishing Lesson 3 Color Printing • Images transferred to paper can suffer distortion, particularly • half-tone (grayscale) pictures, which use ink dots • Ink is absorbed into paper and spreads out (dot gain) • Normal dot gain is about 10% • Proof (no dot gain), and printed image (with dot gain) 10

  11. Desktop Publishing Lesson 3 Desktop Color Printing • Most desktop color printers use liquid ink that is separated into • CMYK colors • Only Publisher, among the Microsoft Office suite, has the capability • to use an automatic CMYK color palette • If you will be printing from other programs, print a test page with • your color scheme to ensure that it meets your needs 11

  14. Desktop Publishing Lesson 3 Graphics Manager • Choose Tools, then select Commercial Printing Tools, • and click on Graphics Manager • This dialog box sets whether the graphics will be embedded or linked • Linked graphics may be sharper since the printer will be working • from the original source 14

  17. Desktop Publishing Lesson 3 Pack and Go Wizard • This screen chooses a destination for the packed file • It defaults to the A: drive, which activates the disk-spanning • compression routine • If you have a CD burner, save the file to the hard drive, then • copy to a CD 17

  18. Desktop Publishing Lesson 3 Pack and Go Wizard • You can embed or attach original files such as pictures so that the • printer can use the originals for sharper printing • Fonts can also be embedded 18

  19. Desktop Publishing Lesson 3 Embedding Fonts • If “Embed TrueType fonts” is selected, the program will report • which fonts are present in the document and whether they can be • embedded. • If the dialog box says “May not embed” then you must use a different • font or pay the printer to license its use! 19

  20. Desktop Publishing Lesson 3 Pack and Go Wizard • After clicking the “Finish” button, the Wizard will perform all the • needed tasks, including saving the file on multiple disks if necessary • When finished, print a copy of the file and its color separations 20

  22. Desktop Publishing Lesson 3 Commercial Small Job Printing • Orders of 250 sheets or less • Often, the printer will offer to use a color copier if image • sharpness is not an issue • Color copying is much cheaper, and since the copier mixes its • colors on the fly, CMYK and separations are not applicable • Remember that a 3/8” margin is needed for the paper rollers • If this margin is not acceptable, the print must be made on a larger • sheet of paper and then cut to size (i.e., costs more) 22
