• When saving Photoshop EPS and PDF files, save them as CMYK color composite files. These files can be submitted directly to a Prinergy job or placed in documents created by applications such as Adobe InDesign or QuakrXPress. When submitted directly, Prinergy will treat each submitted file as an individual page.
• When saving DCS files from Photoshop and placing them in desktop software such as Adobe InDesign or Adobe Illustrator, save the DCS control file as either a grayscale composite or a color composite file with a preview. Generate thin PostScript from the desktop application. Enable OPI in the refine process template to allow Prinergy to merge high-resolution DCS data.

Note: You must save the DCS control file with a preview, otherwise the desktop software may not add the required OPI comments to the thin PostScript.

• For DCS 1 files, select either of the following options:
  • Color Composite
  • Grayscale Composite

  Do not select No Composite PostScript.

• For DCS-2 files, select one of the following options:
  • Single File with Grayscale Composite
  • Multiple File with Grayscale Composite
  • Single File with Color Composite
  • Multiple File with Color Composite

   Do not select Single File DCS No Composite or Multiple File DCS, No Composite as this may cause OPI comments to disappear when placed in QuarkXPress.

• For TIFF images, you can use clipping paths, spot colors, soft masks, and drop shadows with OPI. See Including spot color channels during OPI and About using OPI with transparent effects.
