New Features For Print Service Providers; Streamlined Printing - Adobe 26001360 - Illustrator CS - PC Printing Manual

New features for print service providers

Following is a partial list of the improvements to the printing process implemented in Adobe
Illustrator CS. Many of these features were developed after listening closely to the input and
requests from print service providers, then incorporating those needs into the product. The
result is a significantly enhanced print experience that will save you time and increase the
reliability and predictability of your printing process.

Streamlined printing

The printing interface in Illustrator CS has been completely rethought from the print/
prepress service provider's point of view. The need for Page Setup and Separations Setup
dialog boxes has been eliminated and all print functionality has been consolidated into the
new comprehensive Print dialog box. This unified interface makes it easier to specify print-
ing options quickly and accurately to achieve consistent and reliable output.
A preview is always visible in the Print dialog no matter which panel is selected. It displays
a thumbnail view of your artwork and how current print settings will interact with your
selected media, including the current print area, orientation, and even printer's marks and
bleeds.
This is the newly designed Print dialog accessed from File > Print. Notice the extensive list
of additional options on the left.
