When you are ready to print your document, choose file>print with preview. And it will bring up this really cool dialogue box, giving you many different options. And one nice feature is the preview on the left side of this dialogue box. And one thing I notice is how small this image will be printed on my large 81/2 by 11 inch piece of paper. So I can see there is a problem that I can immediately fix right here, but I want to show you what that issue is. So I'm going to hit cancel, go to image>image size, and notice that I have a very high pixel count - 1600 by 1200 pixels. But my actual document size is tiny with a very high image resolution. So I'm going to change this to be about 300 pixels per inch without throwing out any pixels, or changing the amount of data in the image. So I'm going to make sure that resample image is disabled. Select the resolution, and type in the right resolution, and see what image size that will yield. That looks pretty good. So that's better. I can see that my image will be a bit larger on the page. We have some options for changing the position. If center image is enabled, these other values are grayed out - we really can't move it. However if I disable center image by clicking on that check box, I can actually move into my preview and position the image wherever I want by clicking and dragging this preview image around. And if I want, I could also go to one of the corner handlebars, and actually change the size of the final outputted image right here by dragging this to a make my image larger or smaller. Or I could simply type in a scaling value, or a height and width. If you are not seeing these little corner handlebars, make sure that show bounding box has been checked. At the middle section of this preview dialogue box is a check for show more options. And if that is enabled, you can see that we have lot of options that we can actually alter for our print out. So currently, I have many different printer marks enabled here - calibration marks, the registration, corner crop marks and center crop marks. So you can see how this will sort of look if you print it out. The preview will update to show you this proxy of what these crop marks will look like. Also, if you have a caption added in the file info section, enabling caption will add that to the bottom of your image. If you are printing to certain types of high-end output film writers, you might need to choose emulsion down or negative. Clicking background will allow you to choose a different color for the background. It will bring up this color picker, and you can choose to have a different color printed on your background. But I'm going to stick with no color. Border will allow you to add a black key line around your image, and you can determine how wide that is measured in points right here by typing in a value. And if you have bleed enabled, you can type in a value and your corner crop marks will actually move into your image this amount. And that way, when it prints out, you can actually trim the image so it gets trimmed right to the edge of the image, or just little bit inside. Sometimes you might want to manipulate the actual half-tone screens, but usually I'm going to use the printer's default half-tone screens for the image. And also if your image is coming out a little bit too dark, you might want to manipulate the ink transfer functions right here. And I am going to leave interpolation enabled - it will smooth out the image if there is not enough image data to create a good print from your printer. You might need more image resolution than your printer can handle, and interpolation will help that out. And if you have any vector data included in this image, which I do with this letter 'S', it will print out sharper (assuming your printer can support vector data) if you have that enabled. For color management, I am going to use the document's source space, which was the Adobe RGB ICC profile. And for printer space you can of course choose to use the same source space, or if you want to choose something else, you can see there is a long list of different ICC profiles. And hopefully your printer came with an ICC profile that you have loaded in here and that will be one of your available options, which is the one which you should choose. And when you are ready, hit print.
