Photoshop RGB with Illustrator and QuarkXPress CMYK and PANTONE colors
This workflow involves short-run printing of a complex page layout with images saved
in Photoshop, illustrations created in Illustrator, and PANTONE spot colors. A
Photoshop image is saved in an RGB color space using the EPS file format. Illustrator
artwork contains objects defined as CMYK and as PANTONE spot colors selected
from printed output, and they are saved using the Illustrator EPS file format. After all
of these individual objects are imported into QuarkXPress, additional design elements
in QuarkXPress are colored using CMYK process colors or PANTONE spot colors.
Use the settings illustrated in this workflow for printing brochures, newsletters, and
other layouts.
Anytime CMYK colors are placed in a document, they should be selected from
N :
OTE
printed output (see page 2-4).
This document could be created as follows:
• Create an RGB image in Photoshop and save it as an EPS.
• Create a graphic in Illustrator using CMYK and PANTONE colors and save as
Illustrator EPS.
• Use CMYK colors and a PANTONE color in a QuarkXPress document.
• Import the Illustrator EPS into QuarkXPress and place the Photoshop EPS image.
• Print the QuarkXPress document to the ColorPASS.
• Use ColorWise to convert the RGB image to copier CMYK, to adjust the process
colors for short-run printing, and to match the PANTONE spot colors using the
full copier gamut.
