A lighter shade of pale
Dear Framers For a non-color book, FrameMaker offers you several ways of creating half-tones. For example, you can: . Use the predefined Grays library in the color picker . Create your own gray from C:0 M:0 Y:0 K:whatever . Use a percentage black fill on an object, such as a graphic or a table cell There may be more. My question is, what is the recommended technique that will result is a pre-press PDF that doesn't demand extra plates? Or doesn't it matter? -- Steve ___ You are currently subscribed to Framers as [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send list messages to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] or visit http://lists.frameusers.com/mailman/options/framers/archive%40mail-archive.com Send administrative questions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Visit http://www.frameusers.com/ for more resources and info.
Re: A lighter shade of pale
I believe if you set your Adobe printer / Distiller job preferences to black and white (turn off color), it doesn't matter. Color plates would only be generated if you had color On.
