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, QuarkXPress will help you get
satisfying results every time.
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 Print command 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.
Open Prepress Interface (OPI) systems substitute high-resolution images and pre-separate
full color scanned images. If you are using such an output system, you can, for example,
import a low-resolution RGB TIFF into a document, and specify that QuarkXPress
automatically enter OPI comments so that the low-resolution pictures are swapped for
high-resolution pictures when printing. OPI systems have different swapping capabilities.
