Adobe 26001360 Printing Guide - Page 3

Introduction The underlying approach to printing in Adobe® Illustrator® CS has been completely redesigned to make the printing process much faster, easier, and more reliable. You'll have complete control over the printed output while streamlining the process for printing. It's 1 not necessary to save artwork to EPS or PDF and place it into a page layout application to print the artwork. When your job doesn't require layout to combine it with other content, Illustrator CS gives you the control you need within one intelligent user interface to print directly. You'll not only bypass several tasks to save an EPS file and incorporate it into another application, but you retain a live document that can be edited up until the time it is printed. Device-specific settings and rendering are held off until print time to ensure the job is fully optimized for the output device. This document will guide you through every aspect of the printing process in Illustrator CS including working with other Adobe and non-Adobe applications, setting up documents for print, troubleshooting, and getting the best output. It is not only a technical reference but is also a useful training tool for your staff. We welcome you to explore the new printing features in Illustrator CS and use this information to streamline the print workflow for your shop.
