1 Choose File > Print.
2 Choose Output from the pop-up menu.
3 Set one or more of the following options:
Calibration Bars Prints an 11-step grayscale, a transition in density from 0 to 100% in 10% increments. With a CMYK
color separation, a
gradient tint bar is printed to the left of each CMYK plate, and a progressive color bar to the right.
Note: Calibration bars, registration marks, crop marks, and labels are printed only if the paper is larger than the printed
image.
Registration Marks Prints registration marks on the image (including bull’s-eyes and star targets). These marks are
used primarily for aligning color separations on PostScript printers.
Corner Crop Marks Prints crop marks where the page is to be trimmed. You can print crop marks at the corners. On
PostScript printers, selecting this option will also print star targets.
Center Crop Marks
Prints crop marks where the page is to be trimmed. You can print crop marks at the center of each edge.
Description Prints any description text entered in the
File Info
dialog box, up to about 300 characters. Description text is always printed in 9-point Helvetica plain type.
Labels Prints the file name above the image. If printing separations, the separation name is printed as part of the label.
Emulsion Down
Makes type readable when the emulsion is down—that is, when the photosensitive 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 with emulsion down.
Negative Prints an inverted version of the entire output, including all masks and any background color. 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 separations 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. 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
