To disable printing of a color plate, click the printer icon 
next to the color in the Document Ink Options list. Click again to restore printing for the color.
To convert all spot colors to process colors, so that they are printed as part of the process-color plates rather than on a separate plate, select Convert All Spot Colors To Process.
To convert an individual spot color to process colors, click the spot color icon 
next to the color in the Document Ink Options list. A four-color process icon 
appears. Click again to revert the color back to a spot color.
To overprint all black ink, select Overprint Black.
To change the screen frequency, screen angle, and shape of halftone dots for a plate, double-click the ink name. Alternatively, click the existing setting in the Document Ink Options list, and make the desired changes. Note however, that the default angles and frequencies are determined by the selected PPD file. Check with your print shop for the preferred frequency and angle before creating your own halftone screens.
If your art contains more than one spot color, particularly interactions between two or more spot colors, assign different screen angles to each spot color.
In particular, you can specify how to position, scale, and crop the artwork; set up printer’s marks and a bleed; and choose flattening settings for transparent artwork.
