-----Original Message----- Trying to prepare and print colour separated printouts of a publisher document. I want printouts of red and also in black. The printer I'm using is a Hp Deskjet 720C Could this be the problem? . From MS Office Publisher Help: Print separations of your publication When you print separations, Microsoft Publisher prints one page for each color used in your publication. Separations appear in black and white, even if you print to a color printer, because your printer uses them only to determine how colors are laid out. On the File menu, click Print. In the Name box, select the printer you want to use. Click Advanced Print Settings, and then click the Separations tab. In the Output list, click Separations. In the These plates list, do one of the following: Click All defined inks to print a spot-color or process-color plate for every ink you have defined in the publication (Tools menu, Commercial Printing Tools, Color Printing). Click Used inks only to print a spot-color or process-color plate for every defined ink that is used in the publication. Click Convert spot to process to print only process-color plates and convert all defined spot colors to process colors. To prevent Publisher from printing plates for unused process colors, click Don't print blank plates. Click the other options you want on the Page Settings tab and the Graphics and Fonts tab, and then click OK. Click OK. More from the Help: Be sure that you talk with your commercial printing service before setting up your publication for color printing. Your printer can tell you how your choice of color printing options will affect the cost of printing your publication. Typically, you will want to choose final colors from a color matching system that your printing service supports. Microsoft Publisher provides the Pantone Matching System (Pantone: A widely-used color-matching system that defines hundreds of spot-color inks or process colors made up of CMYK inks.), which you can use to specify the spot (spot color: Premixed color matched to a standard color guide, such as PANTONE.) or process colors (process colors: The four transparent inks (cyan, magenta, yellow, and black) that are used in commercial printing to produce color photographic images and a wide range of solid colors.) you use in your publication. Work with a printing service to choose colors Before you begin designing a publication for commercial printing, you'll want to discuss with your commercial printing service whether to use process color (also known as CMYK (CMYK: A color model for commercial printing that produces a wide range of colors by mixing varying percentages of cyan, magenta, yellow, and black inks.) color) or spot color (spot color: Premixed color matched to a standard color guide, such as PANTONE.). Publisher supports process-color and spot-color printing, and provides all the tools your commercial printing service needs to prepare your color publication for printing. After you make a decision about color, you can design your publication for the type of color printing you've chosen. Choosing process-color or spot-color printing In most cases, your decision to use process color, spot color, or a combination of spot and process color will be based on the printing issues that you discuss with someone from a commercial printing service. These issues include the following: The number or range of colors that will best suit your publication Spot color printing uses premixed inks, typically one or more colors. Spot colors are often used in publications to: Emphasize headings, borders, and logos. Match colors in line drawings or other simple graphics. Specify special inks, such as metallic or varnish. Process-color (CMYK) printing, which can reproduce a wide range of colors using just four inks, is often used when a publication: Includes full-color photographs. Uses detailed, multicolored graphics. The cost of producing the publication Typically, a process-color publication is more expensive to produce than a spot-color publication. Every ink requires a separate press plate and process color printing always requires four inks, which entails more setup time for a printer. If you are printing only a small number of publications, the cost per publication may be prohibitively expensive. Spot color costs vary depending on how many inks you will use. Typically, you will use very few, but you can create the effect of a wider range of colors by using tints of an ink. For example, a printer can create screen tints of spot colors, rather than separate plates, and thus vary the colors without increasing printing costs. The cost of producing a publication also depends on the type of paper used for printing, the complexity of the publication's graphics, and on the number of publications that will be produced. Set up a publication for spot-color printing On the Tools menu, point to Commercial Printing Tools, and then click Color Printing. Under Define all colors as, click Spot colors. Publisher converts all colors in your publication to spot-color inks, which are listed in the Inks tab. You can change, duplicate, or add new spot-color inks as desired. How? Change a spot-color ink When you change a spot-color ink, you replace it with another ink, which you can choose from the Pantone Matching System or the Windows color palette, or define using the the RGB (RGB: A system that describes colors as a mixture of red (R), green (G), and blue (B). The color is defined as a set of three values (R,G,B). Using 0 (zero) percent of each color produces black; using 100 percent of all three colors produces white.), CMYK (CMYK: A color model for commercial printing that produces a wide range of colors by mixing varying percentages of cyan, magenta, yellow, and black inks.), or HSL (HSL: A color model that defines a color by three values: Hue, the color itself; Saturation, the purity of the color; and Luminance, the amount of light that is either reflected or absorbed by the color.) color model. In the Inks tab, click the arrow next to the spot-color ink you want to change, and then click Change. In the Change Ink dialog box, select the spot-color ink you want, and then click OK. Duplicate a spot-color ink When you duplicate a spot-color ink, you create a new ink by altering the definition of an existing ink. Alternately, you can choose a new ink from the Pantone Matching System or the Windows color palette, or define it using the the RGB (RGB: A system that describes colors as a mixture of red (R), green (G), and blue (B). The color is defined as a set of three values (R,G,B). Using 0 (zero) percent of each color produces black; using 100 percent of all three colors produces white.), CMYK (CMYK: A color model for commercial printing that produces a wide range of colors by mixing varying percentages of cyan, magenta, yellow, and black inks.), or HSL (HSL: A color model that defines a color by three values: Hue, the color itself; Saturation, the purity of the color; and Luminance, the amount of light that is either reflected or absorbed by the color.) color model. In the Inks tab, click the arrow next to the spot-color ink you want to duplicate, and then click Duplicate. In the New Ink dialog box, select the spot-color ink you want, and then click OK. Add a new spot-color ink When you add a new spot-color ink, you can choose a new ink from the Pantone (Pantone: A widely-used color-matching system that defines hundreds of spot-color inks or process colors made up of CMYK inks.) Matching System or the Windows color palette, or define it using the the RGB (RGB: A system that describes colors as a mixture of red (R), green (G), and blue (B).

In the Inks tab, click New Ink. In the New Ink dialog box, select the spot-color ink you want, and then click OK. Note When you switch your publication to spot-color printing, any color schemes (color scheme: A predefined set of harmonized colors that you can apply to text and objects. Text and objects with an applied scheme color will change automatically when you switch to a new color scheme or modify the current color scheme.) you have will be lost. Set up a publication for process-color printing On the Tools menu, point to Commercial Printing Tools, and then click Color Printing. Under Define all colors as, click Process colors (CMYK). Publisher converts all colors in your publication to CMYK values, and then lists cyan, magenta, yellow, and black as the only inks in the Inks tab. Publisher lists all the colors in the Colors tab, showing their CMYK values. Note Some colors that appear on your screen cannot be matched exactly to a CMYK color. After setting up for process-color printing, be sure to evaluate the publication for color changes. If a color does not match the color you want, you can change the color of individual objects in the publication. Set up a publication for spot-color and process-color printing On the Tools menu, point to Commercial Printing Tools, and then click Color Printing. Under Define all colors as, click Process colors plus spot colors. One of the following will result: If your publication was set up for Any color (RGB), Publisher converts all colors to process colors and lists only the process-color inks cyan, magenta, yellow, and black in the list of inks in the Inks tab. If your publication was set up for Spot colors or Single color, Publisher retains the spot-color inks and adds the process-color inks cyan, magenta, yellow, and black to the list of inks in the Inks tab. If your publication was set up for Process colors (CMYK), Publisher initially lists only the process-color inks in the Inks tab. However, if you click New Ink you can add any spot-color inks to the list of inks in the Inks tab. How? When you add a new spot-color ink, you can choose a new ink from the Pantone Matching System or the Windows color palette, or define it using the the RGB (RGB: A system that describes colors as a mixture of red (R), green (G), and blue (B). The color is defined as a set of three values (R,G,B).

In the Inks tab, click New Ink. In the New Ink dialog box, select the spot-color ink you want, and then click OK. |
