Advanced Panel

The Advanced Panel is sort of a "catch all." It gives you controls for OPI workflows, for printing gradients to certain kinds of printers, and for choosing flattening settings (see Figure 95-4).

OPI Workflows

You only need to be concerned with the OPI section if you're using an Open Prepress Interface (OPI) workflow. In an OPI workflow, you place low-resolution "proxy" images in InDesign which reference the high-resolution files (which may not even be on your system). At output time, an OPI server automatically replaces the proxies with the high-resolution files.

Turning on OPI Image Replacement allows InDesign to act as an OPI server. For this to work, when placing an EPS file, the Read Embedded OPI Image Links option in the EPS Import Options dialog box must be selected. InDesign must also have access to the high-resolution files. (This workflow can be useful when you're using transparency, and the high-resolution version needs to be used in the flattening process.)

Turning off OPI Image Replacement and turning on one or more of the Omit for OPI options allows InDesign to strip out selected imagesbased on their graphic formatsEPS (Encapsulated PostScript), PDF (Acrobat files), or Bitmap Images. OPI comments are added to the PostScript instead, to be replaced later in the workflow by an OPI server.

Gradients

The Force Continuous Tone Behavior in the Gradients section is pretty specialized. For color printers which are continuous tonedye sublimation and continuous-tone laser printersthis choice can help to prevent banding in gradients.

Transparency Flattening

Transparency needs to be flattened when it's time to print. We discuss these options in Chapter 94.
