Chapter 7 - Printing From a Graphics Application
Printing from Macromedia Freehand
While most graphics applications don’t require the user to manually specify a PPD file for use
when printing, similar to the older versions of Illustrator, Macromedia Freehand requires you
have a PPD available. is is not a major issue and only requires a couple extra steps in the
printing process to resolve.
In this section we will outline how to print from within
Freehand.
To print, select 1. File > Print. Choose your FastRIP Epson
printer and click on Properties. Set the Page Size and
click on Advanced. Set your Paper Size and choose your
FastRIP function.
Under 2. Print Setting, select +Quality PS Level 2. Place
a check by Use PPD and click on the box with the three
dots immediately to the right. is will bring up a win-
dow as if you had double-clicked on the My Computer
icon your desktop. In this window you will need to locate
the directory C:\FastRIP\Printers. In this folder, locate the
PPD file that matches your printer and select it.
Click on 3. Setup.
4. Choose the Separations tab. Click on each spot color to set the angle.
Use the 5. Halftone drop-down arrow to select Other. Set the LPI. Click on Ok.
Click on the “three dots icon”(...)
