Output
Whether you want to print proof copies for review on a laser printer, or you need final
film or plate output on a high-resolution imagesetter or platesetter, QuarkXPress will
help you get satisfying results every time. QuarkXPress 9 and later versions, no longer
support host-based separations, but you can continue to output using In-RIP separations
or Composite output.
Printing layouts
In many publishing environments, you can print using a wide variety of output devices,
from desktop inkjet printers to office laser printers or even high-end platesetters. The
topics below explain printing how to print from QuarkXPress.
Updating picture paths
QuarkXPress uses two types of information for imported pictures: low-resolution and
high-resolution. Low-resolution information is used to display picture previews. When
you print, high-resolution information contained in the original picture files is accessed
using paths to the pictures.
A path to a picture is established when you import a picture. The application keeps
information about each picture's path as well as when the picture was last modified.
If a picture is moved or changed after it is imported, the application warns you when
you execute the Output command (Print, PDF, EPS or Digital Outputs) or the Collect
for Output command (File menu).
If you keep your pictures in the same folder as the project, you will not have to maintain
picture paths. If you keep your pictures in the same folder as the article, you will not
have to maintain picture paths. The application can always "find" pictures that are in
the same folder as the document, whether or not the picture was in that folder at the
time it was imported.
Setting Print dialog box controls
To print a Print layout:
1
Choose File > Print (Command+P/Ctrl+P). The Print dialog box displays.
2
To select a printer driver, choose an option from the Printer drop-down menu.
