Your printer’s PPD should be placed in the PPD folder in the
MultiAd Creator folder.
Page Design
Advanced imaging includes not only the mechanical side of printing,
but also the elements of page design. Your printer with true Adobe
PostScript 3 takes care of most of the mechanical side, allowing you
such freedom as scaling, rotating, and filling text and graphics.
However, a basic understanding of terms and elements of page design
can help you add finishing touches for a truly professional image.
The rest of this chapter deals with some of the language and
elements used in desktop publishing page design.
Typefaces and Fonts
Two very important terms to understand are typefaces and fonts.
These terms, often used interchangeably, can lead to confusion
sometimes. A font is actually a subdivision of a typeface.
Typeface refers to the style of printing type, not the size. The style
includes design elements such as spacing, stroke, and weight which
are covered later in this chapter.
