Roland ColorChoice Ver. 4.5 - Manual (Page 43)

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 and make sure Printer Name RIP@... is
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 Options, select Use Printer's Default Screen.
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.
11. Check Use Page Setup.
12. Click the Page Setup button.
13. Choose a standard paper size in the Paper field.
14. Select Custom Page Default from the pop-up menu if a custom page size is required, and enter your
custom page size. Click the Add button.
15. Select Page Attributes from the pop-up menu. Select the defined Custom Page in the ‘Paper’ field.
16. Click OK to AdobePS Page Setting dialog.
17. Click OK to Document Setup dialog.
18. Go to File>Print. Select your printer in the ‘Printer’ field and select the page you want to print, and the
number of copies.
19. Select Adobe Illustrator ® 9.0 from the pop-up menu.
• Set Output to Composite.
• Set PostScript to Level 3.

20. Select Printer Specific Options from pop-up menu. If you want the file to be printed automatically
select Print in the After Spooling option. If you want to verify the print mode and profile settings before
printing the file, select Hold. Select Hold in the After Output option, if you want to keep the file in the
Print Monitor.
21. Click Print to start printing.
