CHAPTER 15
Printing
For a color illustration of a printed page, see
figure 5-1 on page 224.
The Page Setup dialog box may include these
options:
Orientation
Landscape or Portrait setting. Because printing
with the Portrait setting is much faster, you may
want to rotate your landscape image 90 degrees by
using the Rotate Canvas command, and then print
using Portrait orientation.
Properties or Options
printer you have selected. (The button name varies
with different operating systems.) For more infor-
mation on using the printing options, see your
printer documentation.

Crop Marks

corners, at the center of each edge, or both.
Calibration Bars

tint bar is printed on the left of each CMY plate, a
progressive color bar on the right.

Prints an inverted version of the image.
Unlike the Invert command in the Image menu,
the Negative option converts the output, not the
on-screen image, to a negative. If you print separa-
tions directly to film, you probably want a
negative, although in many countries film
positives are common. Check with your print shop
to determine which is required. If printing to
paper, print a positive.
Makes type readable when the
Emulsion Down
emulsion is down—that is, when the photosen-
sitive layer on a piece of film or photographic
paper is facing away from you. Normally, images
printed on paper are printed with emulsion up,
with type readable when the photosensitive
layer faces you. Images printed on film are often
printed down.
To determine the emulsion side, examine the film
under a bright light after it has been developed.
The dull side is the emulsion; the shiny side is the
base. Check whether your print shop requires film
with positive emulsion up, negative emulsion
up, positive emulsion down, or negative
emulsion down.
Interpolation
Reduces the jagged appearance of a
low-resolution image by automatically resampling
up while printing. However, resampling may also
reduce the sharpness of the image quality (see
"About resampling" on page 48). Some PostScript
Level 2 (or higher) printers have interpolation
capability. If your printer doesn't, this option has
no effect.
