copied to the location you choose.
Note:
For fastest printing and smaller file size, use efficient drawing techniques.
Techniques that reduce print times also help speed screen redraw and make
editing easier.
Specify a paper size no larger than the illustration actually covers to reduce
memory requirements for processing objects.
You can speed printing and reduce file size by following these guidelines when you
create your artwork:
•
Avoid unnecessary complexity. Delete any object not visible in Preview mode.
All objects drawn on printing foreground layers process when you print, even if
they are hidden behind other objects. You can also use the Delete Xtras to
delete unused objects from the document, including empty text blocks and
unused named colors.
•
When possible, use straight paths instead of curves to reduce printer time and
memory slightly. For curves, use the fewest points possible, and shape curves
using point handles instead of adding more points.
•
Use a higher flatness value.
•
Reduce the number of subpaths in a composite path.
•
Apply special effects conservatively—for example, do not use numerous
multi-color radial fills. Use a basic fill when possible. Use special fills–
such as lenses and gradient fills–and text effects sparingly.
•
Clean up paths created with the Trace tool or the FreeHand tool by choosing
Modify > Alter Path > Simplify or Xtras > Cleanup.
•
Simplify clipping paths and their contents.
•
Use options from the Halftones panel sparingly.
•
Modify and crop imported graphics in their original application.
