174 Chapter 17 Printing Your Images
Printing a Contact Sheet or Series of Contact Sheets
You can print contact sheets of your images, and Aperture does all the layout work for
you. All you have to do is select the number of pages or columns; Aperture adjusts the
size of the images based on your Layout Options settings.
To print contact sheets:
1 In the Browser, select the images you want to print.
2 Choose File > Print Images (or press Command-P).
3 In the Print dialog, specify the following settings:
 Select a Contact Sheet preset in the Preset Name list.
 Make sure the settings in the Printer Selection area are correct, such as Paper Size
and ColorSync Profile.
 In the Layout Options area, specify the number of pages or the number of columns
as a basis for laying out the contact sheets.
Aperture automatically adjusts the size of images based on your Layout Options
settings. The size of the images on the contact sheet is based on whether or not you
choose to constrain the images within a specific number of pages. The fewer pages
selected, the smaller the images. Similarly, if you choose columns, the more columns
selected, the smaller the images.
 Verify the layout of your contact sheet in the preview area.
 For printers incapable of printing full bleeds, select the “Show crop marks” checkbox
in the Border Options area.
4 After you’ve verified that all the settings in the Print dialog are correct, click Print.
Your contact sheet is printed.
