Printing an Image
Once you have chosen options in the 
Page/Print Setup dialog box, you are 
ready to print.
To print an image:
1 Choose File menu > Print to 
open the Print dialog box. 
The top half of the dialog box 
contains the standard print 
commands.
2 Select one of the four printing 
methods that Corel Painter 
supports.
•Check Color Quick Draw/GDI 
Printing if your printer is not a 
PostScript printer. Some com-
mon examples are the Hewlett-
Packard DeskJet, the Canon® 
Bubble Jet, and the EPSON 
Stylus®. You cannot print sep-
arations to non-PostScript 
printers. 
• Check Color PostScript if you 
plan to print to a color Post-
Script device. The Minolta 
QMS™ ColorScript and Tek-
tronix® color thermal printers 
are examples of color PostScript 
printers.
• Check Separations to print sep-
arations. The output consists of 
four pages, one each for cyan, 
magenta, yellow, and black. You 
can print separations from 
Corel Painter with any Post-
Script device, including high-
resolution imagesetters. 
•Check the B & W PostScript 
option if you are printing on a 
black and white PostScript laser 
printer. 
Corel Painter places a color bar, 
registration marks, and color name 
on each of the four separated 
plates. 
3 If you want to use the Color 
Management System to control 
printing, enable the Use Output 
Preview option. For more 
information, refer to “Color 
Management” on page 447.
Note 
•
Corel Painter uses the device’s default 
screening information to produce high 
quality color separations. If you save to 
EPS format with Output Preview off, 
Corel Painter uses the Color Studio 
separation tables with your device’s 
default screening. For more information 
about saving to EPS format, see “Saving 
in EPS file format for Printing” on 
page 454.
Color Management
Corel Painter features color 
management controls designed to 
match colors between various devices, 
such as scanners, digital cameras, 
printers, and monitors.
