FreeHand PrintSet ReadMe
February 2001

The PrintSet folder consists of a set of files containing setup information that can be used to quickly recall options for the Print Setup dialog box. These files have no effect on non-PostScript printers.

The installer places the files in a folder named PrintSet, within the English\Settings folder in the FreeHand application folder. Additional PrintSet files that you create in FreeHand will also be placed into this folder.

Glance through the PrintSet listing below and decide which PrintSet you need.

Select the PrintSet file you wish to use from the Print Setting pop-up in the Print or Print Setup dialog boxes.

The following PrintSet files are shipped with FreeHand:

Normal - This is the default PrintSet, designed for printing to desktop printers.

Draft - This PrintSet uses settings designed to print proofs quickly at reduced quality. Images are omitted, gradients are banded, and curved lines are given a high flatness value. Use the UserPrep MoreBand.prp on Windows with this PrintSet to get the fastest PostScript output possible.

Hyphen - This PrintSet is designed for use with the Hyphen RIP.

Quality PS Level 2 - This PrintSet is designed for use with high-resolution imagesetters that use PostScript Level 2. It improves printing speed by turning off Split Complex Paths, an option that is unnecessary with PostScript Level 2.
