Proof the output on the printer (QuarkXPress, PS driver)
This example uses QuarkXPress 7 under Mac OS, with the PostScript driver. Color management is
done by the printers internal PostScript RIP.
The aim in this example is to create a concept proof of a press—in this case a Europe ISO Coated
FOGRA27 press. QuarkXPress will convert the document and its images to the ISO Coated space and
send it to the printer, which will convert it to its final colors emulating such a press. So there are two
stages of color conversion involved.
1.Initial recommendations:
●Choose an appropriate paper type for the purpose.
●The paper type should be calibrated and profiled with the printer and the print-quality level
that you intend to use. See 
Color calibration on page 69 and Color profiling on page 70.
●For a correct preview of the printed image, the monitor should also be profiled.
2.Open QuarkXPress 7.
