InDesign

Specify which colors to separate

Each separation is labeled with the color name that InDesign assigned it. If an icon of a printer appears next to the color name, InDesign creates a separation for the color. Any spot inks—including those defined and used in imported PDF files or EPS graphics—also appear in the ink list.

  1. In the Output area of the Print dialog box, select Separations or, if you use a PPD file that supports in‑RIP separations, select In‑RIP Separations.
  2. Do one of the following:

    • To create a separation, make sure that the printer icon is displayed next to the color name in the ink list.

    • To choose not to create a separation, click the printer icon next to the color’s name. The printer icon disappears.
