1

00:00:00.08 --> 00:00:02.06

- What is there to say about printing?



2

00:00:02.06 --> 00:00:05.03

You press Control P or Command P on a Mac,



3

00:00:05.03 --> 00:00:07.09

you cross your fingers,

and you hope for the best.



4

00:00:07.09 --> 00:00:09.06

Honestly, that would be my five second,



5

00:00:09.06 --> 00:00:13.00

one movie description of how

you print for most programs.



6

00:00:13.00 --> 00:00:15.04

You press some keys,

you say a quiet prayer,



7

00:00:15.04 --> 00:00:17.04

and you wait for the results.



8

00:00:17.04 --> 00:00:19.00

But Illustrator is different.



9

00:00:19.00 --> 00:00:21.03

Eagerly awaiting you are a bunch of movies



10

00:00:21.03 --> 00:00:23.09

covering topics directly

related to printing,



11

00:00:23.09 --> 00:00:27.02

many of which involve no

mention of the print command.



12

00:00:27.02 --> 00:00:28.06

We'll start by taking a look



13

00:00:28.06 --> 00:00:31.02

at how you simulate colored paper stock.



14

00:00:31.02 --> 00:00:34.04

Then, we'll add a bleed

for borderless printing.



15

00:00:34.04 --> 00:00:37.02

We'll take a look at the

Separations Preview panel,



16

00:00:37.02 --> 00:00:40.03

which allows you to preview

the color separations necessary



17

00:00:40.03 --> 00:00:42.07

to commercially reproduce the document.



18

00:00:42.07 --> 00:00:45.08

I'll show you how to

introduce a spot color,



19

00:00:45.08 --> 00:00:48.09

which is a premixed ink that

prints on its own plate.



20

00:00:48.09 --> 00:00:50.08

We'll take a look at overprinting



21

00:00:50.08 --> 00:00:52.05

and how it specifically applies



22

00:00:52.05 --> 00:00:54.08

to managing the use of black ink.



23

00:00:54.08 --> 00:00:57.07

And then finally, we'll

look at the Print command



24

00:00:57.07 --> 00:01:00.03

and how it allows you to

print to a local inkjet



25

00:01:00.03 --> 00:01:02.08

or laser printer, as well as create a PDF



26

00:01:02.08 --> 00:01:05.02

for commercial reproduction.



27

00:01:05.02 --> 00:01:06.08

Illustrator is possibly



28

00:01:06.08 --> 00:01:09.04

the best printing program ever invented.



29

00:01:09.04 --> 00:01:13.01

Here, let me know you

exactly how it works.
