Now if you are going to take your artwork to a high end printer or image setter you are going to need to play with some of the settings. For 90% of the work you are going to do to your home or office laser printer or inkjet printer you will not need to touch these. Now let's take a look at what they are. Say we are going to prepare this job to take to a 4 color printer. What I am going to do is go up to File, go up to Print, and since I do not have a high image or high end printer, I am just going to pick Acrobat Distiller and that is going to give us some options. Ok, now to go ahead and change the options what we are going to do is select Advanced, and this is going to open up the Print Setup dialog box. Here we have several options to choose from. Let's start at the bottom first. Here we can see the number of pages, this case I only have one page. And we can control how we view it in the preview area, ok, let us choose preview. Keyline. Or what is called an x box which is going to place an x in the preview and that indicates that we have a page there. So if we have complicated artwork or illustrations you can use the keyline or you can simply select Preview. Now you can also move your artwork around in the preview area if you would like just to see how things go. And just click outside the preview area to put everything back where it belongs. Now we can also add labels and marks around our artwork before it goes to the printer. So what we are going to do is click our Imaging tab and we can add. If we are going to print separations we can have labels for the separations. We can add a file date and name, in this case there is none. We can create crop marks and registration marks. Also for sending this to a service bureau we can specify if we want this emulsion up, emulsion down for the film. Negative image or positive image. You can also include invisible layers with complex paths. And basically a lot of these you will actually need to talk to the service bureau or the printer and determine how they want you to prepare this file for them. Each of these are going to be specific to specific printers and service bureaus and even your own high end printers. So experimentation is going to be the key. We can also control the paper setup and also select paper sizes as well as the orientation of our object. And if we want to create color separations we can do that and select the colors that we want to separate. Again different options will be available to you depending on what you are doing and what kind of image setter you are going to be using. So those are some of the advanced options that you can use to control your artwork and the quality of that work that you worked so hard to create when it goes to the service bureau or printer.
