Printing an Image

Once you have chosen options in the Page/Print Setup dialog box, you are ready to print.

To print an image

1. Choose File menu > Print to open the Print dialog box.

The top half of the dialog box contains the standard print commands.

2. Select one of the four printing methods that Corel Painter supports.

• Check Color Quick Draw/GDI Printing if your printer is not a PostScript printer. Some common examples are the Hewlett-Packard DeskJet, the Canon® Bubble Jet, and the EPSON Stylus®. You cannot print separations to non-PostScript printers.
• Check Color PostScript if you plan to print to a color PostScript device. The Minolta QMS™ ColorScript and Tektronix® color thermal printers are examples of color PostScript printers.
• Check Separations to print separations. The output consists of four pages, one each for cyan, magenta, yellow, and black. You can print separations from Corel Painter with any PostScript device, including high-resolution imagesetters.
• Check the B & W PostScript option if you are printing on a black and white PostScript laser printer.

Corel Painter places a color bar, registration marks, and color name on each of the four separated plates.

3. If you want to use the Color Management System to control printing, enable the Use Output Preview option. For more information, refer to "Color Management".

• Corel Painter uses the device's default screening information to produce high quality color separations. If you save to EPS format with Output Preview off, Corel Painter uses the Color Studio separation tables with your device's default screening. For more information about saving to EPS format, see "Saving in EPS file format for Printing".
