TOTAL AREA INK COVERAGE (TAC)

Check the box for Total Area Coverage and set to 300%

Total Area Coverage or TAC, is the combined value of all CMYK inks for a particular area or object on a page. This value cannot exceed a specified amount, or ink may not transfer effectively and printed sheets may exhibit undesirable print quality characteristics such as blistering, picking or pages sticking together.

IN magazine requires a max of 300 percent TAC

Designers must have an awareness of the TAC of their designs to ensure the potential for high-quality output of their designs.

Total Area Coverage (TAC) – Evaluation

Modern desktop publishing applications, such as those within the Adobe Creative Suite, have the ability to evaluate pages in regard to TAC. See “How to identify TAC areas of concern” for instructions for Adobe Acrobat Pro, InDesign and Photoshop.

Total Area Coverage (TAC) – Avoidances

The two most common situations that cause out-of-tolerance TAC levels are:

1. The use of the Registration color swatch (100c, 100m, 100y, 100k), and

2. Adjusting images incorrectly in Photoshop, after conversion to CMYK.

Total Area Coverage (TAC) – General Guidelines and Tolerance

TAC (cumulative, square area) that exceeds the specified amount and represents an area that is smaller than a thumbprint will not typically cause any undesirable print quality issues.

In contrast, however, TAC that exceeds the specified amount in an area larger than a thumbprint is much more likely to exhibit undesirable print quality characteristics and should be avoided.

How to identify TAC areas of concernTo find the areas of concern with Adobe Acrobat Pro:

• Open the PDF in Acrobat Pro. Go to Tools > Print Production > Output Preview to open the Output Preview pallet. Check the box at the bottom for Total Area Coverage. Select 300 percent from the drop-down. Areas of concern will highlight with the color in the color selector box (shown as green below).

Areas of concern highlighted in red

To find the areas of concern with Adobe InDesign:

• Open the PDF in Adobe InDesign. Go to Window > Output > Separations Preview. Select to view Ink Limit and set to 300%. Areas of concern will highlight red.

To find the areas of concern with Adobe Photoshop:

• Open the PDF in Adobe Photoshop. Go to Window > Info to open the Info pallet. Select the pallet menu (three lines in top-right), then Panel Options. Change Second Color Readout to Total Ink.

How to correct TAC outside its native applicationThe ideal method of TAC correction is to identify areas of concern and modify images and graphics within the file’s native application to produce a TAC no greater than 300%. If you are unable to correct a file within its native program, and have a PDF or image to work with, TAC correction can be made in Adobe Photoshop using the following steps:

1. Download the Photoshop Color Settings from: https://caesar.sheridan.com/tsp_procedures/procedureFiles.php?method=getfile&dir=%2FGeneral_Guidelines%2F%2FTotal_Area_Coverage&file=Sheridan_ISO.zip

2. Unzip it.

3. Open a Finder window.

4. Place files within the unzipped folder ito this folder: MacintochHD > Users > [Username] > Library* > Application Support > Adobe > Color > Settings

* Library folder is hidden. To access, select Finder window and input [Shift] + [Command] + [.]

5. Quit and Relauch Photoshop. Do not open any files.

6. Within Photoshop, go to Edit > Color Settings.
