Printing Multiple Artboards
There are several important controls for printing artboards under the
General topic:
•Ignore Artboards: is option prints all the artwork on the entire
Illustrator canvas and disregards the Artboard boundaries. e content
is treated much like artwork in previous versions of Illustrator: the out-
side boundaries of all the artwork are regarded as a bounding box and
the Artboard edges are ignored.
•Skip Blank Artboards: is option will prevent outpuing blank
plates for empty Artboards.
Printing Multiple Artboards
e Print dialog contains controls for selecting and previewing artboards before you print.
Set up tiling options, and take advantage of the Auto-Rotate option for document with
diering artboard sizes.
To select a discontiguous range of artboards, separate the artboard
numbers with a comma (e.g., ”1,3” to print the first and third artboard).
The navigational control beneath the preview thumbnail pane in the
print dialog allows you scroll through the Artboards in the Illustrator file
so you can confirm that selected Artboards will fit in the specified
media.
Printing Bleed
There are two methods for including bleed in print output: invoking an
existing bleed setting, or manually entering bleed values. If a bleed
value has been specified during document setup, or added by
modifying the document setup at some point (File > Document Setup),
it can be invoked by just checking the Use Document Bleed Settings
option in the Print dialog.
If bleed has not been established formally by specifying bleed settings
in Document Setup, you can manually enter the appropriate values in
the bleed fields in the Print dialog. Note that, by default, the four bleed
fields are linked: change the value in one field, and they all change. You
can, however, click the link icon to unlink the fields, and enter different
values if necessary.
Printing Bleed
If a bleed seing has been established for the le, just check the option to Use Document
Bleed Seings to include artwork in the bleed in output. If no bleed seing has been
established, you can also manually enter bleed values.
