Create a Spot Color PostScript File in Publisher 98

Here's a quick overview (covered in more detail in the help files):

1. Select File | Prepare File for Printing Service... | Create File in PostScript...
2. Click the desired Printer/Printer Driver (if not already selected).
3. Make sure the Print File box is checked.
4. Click the Properties tab and change any default settings if needed.
5. Click OK
6. Give the file a name
7. Click OK
8. Publisher creates a PostScript file.

Additional considerations:

• Fonts in PostScript Files
• Graphics in PostScript Files
• Printing Service Checklist

Print Color Separations. When preparing a spot color publication print a separate proof for each color (to make sure that objects will print in the desired color). All pages will print in B/W but only objects on the page for each color (black/gray, spot color 1, spot color 2) will print on that separation. Choose "Print Color Separations" on the Print Dialog screen.
