Adobe Illustrator 9.0 [Macintosh]
ColorSync 2.x or higher and Kodak Digital Science must be installed when using Illustrator to create CMYK
files.
1. From the Roland ColorChoice Print Monitor, click
Setup>Setup Properties
. Then click the Print Tab.
2. Make sure the
Perform Color Correction
checkbox has a check in it. Also, if you're using the
transparency feature of Illustrator 9.0 or the likes (described later in this document), we recommend
setting the same option for "
Bitmap rendering intent
" and "
Vector rendering intent
". Color stitching
may occur if these settings are kept different. (For more information about color stitching, refer to "The
Transparency Feature in Illustrator 9.0" later in this document.)
3. Click
OK
in the Setup Properties dialog box.
4. Go to Apple menu and select
Chooser
. Highlight
Adobe PS

selected.
5. In Illustrator, go to
File>Document Setup
. From the pop-up menu, choose
Transparency
.
6. The
Quality/Speed
slider should normally be left at the center position. If you have output problems
such as missing portions of the artwork, move the slider one tick to the left. (If you are performing
printing only, move it all the way to the left.)
7. Next, from the pop-up menu, choose
Print & Export
.
8. For

9. Set
Rasterization Resolution
to around 100 to 300 dpi. If you are going to perform enlarged printing
with Roland ColorChoice, set this to an even larger value. Larger values yield correspondingly higher
image quality, but processing time will be correspondingly longer. Set
Mesh
to a value that is the same
or about half of
Rasterization Resolution
.
10. Next, from the pop-up menu, choose
Artboard
.
