Introduction - Adobe 26001360 - Illustrator CS - PC Printing Manual

Introduction

The underlying approach to printing in Adobe
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
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.
