In-Depth Information
Note
You can have InDesign maintain the existing colors used in a job by choos-
ing Composite Leave Unchanged in the Color section of the Print dialog
box. Additionally, if you are a printer or service provider and need to print
color separations from InDesign, 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.

On the left side of the Print dialog box, click the Output category. Choose Com-
posite CMYK from the Color menu. (If you are printing to a black-and-white
printer, choose Composite Gray.)
Tip
If your document contains transparency that is flattened during the printing
process, select Simulate Overprint in the Output section of the Print dialog
box when printing, for the best print result.
Choosing Composite CMYK causes any RGB colors, including those in RGB
graphics, to be converted to CMYK at the time of printing. This setting changes
neither the original, placed graphic files nor any colors applied to objects.
7.
On the left side of the Print dialog box, click the Graphics category. Choose Op-
timized Subsampling from the Send Data menu.
When Optimized Subsampling is selected, InDesign sends only the image data ne-
cessary for the printer selected in the Print dialog box. This can reduce the time it
takes to send the file to print. To have the complete high-resolution graphic in-
formation sent to the printer, which may take longer to image, select All from the
Send Data menu.
Tip
To quickly print using a preset, choose File > Print Presets and select
the device preset. Holding down the Shift key while doing this will print
without prompting you with the Print dialog box.
8.
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
