Separate Grayscales as Black Select to separate grayscale paint objects on the black plate only. Deselect this option for Canvas to treat gray color values as RGB colors that will be separated as CMYK grays. Brush pointers These options let you change the pointer displayed for painting tools. The default pointer is a symbol of the current painting tool. Standard Pointer Displays the icon for the current painting tool. Precise Pointer Displays a cross hair pointer. The intersection of the cross hair is the center of the current brush. Brush Size Pointer Displays an outline of the current brush as the pointer. Note: You can use the context menu to change the pointer while you edit a paint object. Printing preferences The Printing tab has several settings that let you control the appear- ance of printed output.

Output to maximum resolution Prints Canvas documents at the printer’s highest resolution.This setting disables image-reduction options and fast-printing features of QuickDraw® printers, which require a setting of 72 dpi. If you print documents to a PostScript printer, it’s a good idea to select this option; however, if you are using Japanese fonts (two- byte), you can deselect the “Output to maximum resolution” check- box, and then use the pop-up menu to select 300 dpi to speed up printing. When “Output to maximum resolution” is not selected, you can choose the resolution (from 72 to 2,540 dots per inch) to use in the Resolution pop-up menu. Halftone options The options in this area let you set the halftone screen frequency and the halftone screen angle for composite printing. You can also choose to use the printer’s default halftone settings. For most desktop publishing purposes, the printer’s default settings are probably the best to use. For commercial printing, you might need to specify a particular frequency and angle for the best output. If
