Printing
Last updated 6/6/2015
The detail in a printed image results from a combination of resolution and screen frequency. The higher an output
device’s resolution, the finer (higher) the screen frequency you can use.
Duplex printing
Printer-specific features such as duplex printing are available when you click the Printer button in the Print dialog box.
Duplex printing is available only if the printer supports it. For information on duplex printing, see your printer
documentation.
Transparent objects
If the artwork contains objects with transparency features that you added using the Effects panel or the Drop Shadow
or Feather commands, the transparent artwork will be flattened according to settings in the flattener preset you choose.
You can affect the ratio of rasterized images to vector images in the printed artwork.
For more information on printing, see the Adobe Print Resource Center at
