Printing gradients and gradient mesh objectsSome printers have difficulty printing gradients and gradient mesh objects. For example, gradients may print with a banding effect on older PostScript Level 2 devices. The Compatible Gradient and Gradient Mesh Printing option enables such printers to print your files by converting the objects to JPEG format. Important: Use this option only with files that contain gradients and gradient mesh objects that will be printed on devices that have difficulty printing such files. This option can slow printing on printers that don't have problems with gradients. You can set the following Graphics option in the Print dialog box: Compatible Gradient And Gradient Mesh Printing Converts gradients and gradient meshes to JPEG format for printing. The resolution for the converted gradients and gradient meshes is set by the Gradient and Mesh Resolution option when you create a transparency flattener preset. (See Transparency flattener options.) |
