Improving gradient printing on
low-resolution printers
Illustrator automatically turns off the
printer’s default screens and uses Adobe
Screens to enhance the output of gradi-
ents when printing to low-resolution
printers (600 dpi and less) that support
fewer than 256 gray levels. However,
you may want to use the printer’s
default screen if your low-resolution
printer uses special screening, such as
stochastic screening.
To use the printer’s default screens
with low-resolution printers:
1
Choose File > Document Setup.
2 Select the Use Printer’s Default
Screens option. Click OK.
