PRINTING

Click on image to enlarge.

Link to the PRINT project description.
+ NEVER print .PSD files!
+ To use your own paper, you must load it in tray 1, the bypass tray (it's the one above) that folds out. If you don't know how, ask me or get the lab monitor to help you. Always make sure it is LASERJET paper.
+ Print each image to a separate piece of paper. Don't forget to choose orientation and paper size as well as the printer in the Print & Page Setup options boxes. You should print a proof to the B&W printer to check for mistakes before printing your final draft in color.

Directions:
1- Finish your image and save it as a .PSD
2- Go to Layers > Flatten Image (Omit this step if your file has text).
3- Go to File > Print with Preview
4- Click on checkbox "Show more Options". Pull-down menu should be set to "Output".
5- Choose "Encoding: ASCII" (not Binary)
6- Click PRINT.
7- Click "Save as PDF"
8- Save the PDF copy of your file to your project folder.
9- Open the PDF and print it in Preview using "Print with Preview".
