Chapter 14: Printing
n most instances, the default print settings in
Adobe Photoshop produce excellent results.
However, to ensure that your color images on-screen
match your printed color images, it’s
important to make sure that your system is cor-rectly
calibrated. Calibrating for variations in
monitors, printing inks, and output devices is
described in Chapter 5, “Reproducing Color.”
This chapter provides an overview of the basic
concepts of printing and describes how to print
using the Adobe Photoshop program, including
how to select screen attributes for halftones and
color separations. It also explains how to create
duotones and print spot colors in Photoshop.
Printing: an overview
The most common way to output images is to pro-duce
a positive or negative image on paper or film
and then to transfer the image to a printing plate
to be run on a press.
About halftones
To produce the appearance of continuous tone in
an image, the image must be broken down into a
series of dots. These dots are created during the
printing process when a halftone screen is applied
to the image. The dots in a halftone screen control
how much ink is deposited at a specific location.
Varying the size and density of the dots creates the
optical illusion of variations of gray or continuous
color in the image. For a process color image, four
halftone screens are used: cyan, magenta, yellow,
and black—one for each ink used in the printing
process.
In traditional print production, a halftone is pro-duced
by placing a halftone screen between a piece
of film and the image and then exposing the film.
In Adobe Photoshop, you specify the attributes for
the halftone screen immediately prior to produc-ing
the film or paper output. To achieve the best
results, the output device you use, such as a
PostScript imagesetter, should be set to the correct

density limit, and the processor should be properly
calibrated. If these factors are inconsistent, the
results can be unpredictable.
Setting up to print
To print any type of image in Adobe Photoshop,
you first select the printing options you want and
then specify settings for the particular image type.
For color separations, you may also want to adjust
how the various plates are generated and to create
traps. Finally, you print the image as one or several
plates.
Important: Photoshop always prints images at the
center of the page—you cannot change the position
of the artwork to print it at a different location on the
page. If you want to print an image at a precise loca-tion
on a page, you must export it to a page-layout
program and reposition it there.
By default, Adobe Photoshop prints all visible lay-ers
and channels. To print an individual layer or
channel, make it the only visible layer or channel
before choosing the Print command.
General printing options
For any type of image you print, you can choose to
print the filename, along with crop marks, regis-tration
marks, and a caption. You can print a neg-ative
of the image, specify an emulsion side for
your film processor, and select a background color
for the image.
These printing options appear in the Page Setup
dialog box, which appears when you choose File >
Page Setup. The exact appearance of this dialog
box varies with different printers. The top half of
the Page Setup dialog box contains the standard
printing options for paper type, printer effects,

reduction and enlargement, and orientation. See
your printer documentation for more information
on these options.
Not all options are available for all printers. For
example, if you are printing to a non-PostScript
printer, the Calibration Bars option is not avail-able,
and only some registration mark options
may be available.
Previewing the page layout
To preview the results of your printing options,
click the page preview box at the lower left of the
window. The box with the x in it represents the
image. Note that Photoshop always prints images
from the center of the page (you can’t adjust the
image to print on another part of the page). See
“Previewing the page layout and print size” on
page 43 for more information on the page preview
feature.
Speeding up landscape printing
Adobe Systems recommends that, rather than
using Landscape orientation, you rotate the image
90 degrees by choosing Image > Rotate Canvas,
choose an option from the submenu, and then
print using Portrait orientation. Printing a page
with the Portrait setting is much faster than print-ing
with the Landscape setting.
Setting additional page setup options
In the Page Setup dialog box, click the Options
button or the Properties button (the button name
varies with different operating systems) to set
specific options for the printer you have selected.
For more information on using the printing
options, see your printer documentation.
Printing labels
The Labels option in the Page Setup dialog box
prints the filename and channel name on the
image.
Printing crop marks
The Crop Marks option in the Page Setup dialog
box prints crop marks that indicate where the page
is to be trimmed. You can choose to print crop
marks at the corners of the page, at the center of
each edge of the page, or both.
Printing calibration bars
The Calibration Bars option in the Page Setup dia-log
box prints an 11-step grayscale. The steps rep-resent
a transition in density from 0 to 100% in
10% increments.
In addition, when you print a CMYK color separa-tion,
a gradient tint bar is printed on the left of
each CMY plate; a progressive color bar is printed
on the right.
