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. These settings affect printed output when you
use the Print as: Composite setting in the Print dialog box, and do
not affect printing when you use the Print as: Separations setting.
Output to maximum resolution
Prints Canvas documents at the
printers 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, its 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 printers default halftone settings.
For most desktop publishing purposes, the printers 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
