This lets me work with all the pages in one file, as I am printing one side of a paper sheet at a time. I click on the specific page I'm printing (eg, in the sidebar of Preview) before I open the print dialog, and with "Selected Page in Sidebar" option chosen, that page is the only one that shows in the print dialog's preview.

When printing a single color zine interior, I typically make a big PDF with all the pages in order – Sheet1_Front, Sheet1_Back, Sheet2_Front, Sheet2_Back and so on.I work with a PDF with 1 page per ink color, and select just pages for the color(s) I'm making masters for. Pages: Selected Page in Sidebar is very handy for multi-color prints.One note is that the Scale setting is not preserved by presets. Presets: (at the top of the print dialog, below printer selection) I've found it makes things faster to make presets for combinations of colors settings and paper sizes that we use a lot.To do this, from the Coloring tab, I select Dual-color print, and then Master-making: Color 2 only. I sometimes want to just make the master on the drum in position 2.There is a bug in the Coloring section, where if you are in Both Colors > Color Separated Data, it won't let you switch to Mono-color printing until you reset the dropdown from "Color Separated Data" back to "Auto".That’s described in more detail on page 24-25 of the Printer Driver Manual. To do this in the printer driver, pick Master Making > Both Colors and Use color separated data. The first page makes the master for the first drum, the second page is for the second drum. I use Photo Grain-touch option the most.įor a two color print on our dual drum machine, I make masters for both drums at once by sending a two-page PDF file to the printer. Hold the shift key to select multiple inks at once.Īll the main settings needed for printing are in the Coloring tab of printing. In the color list on the left column, select the ink(s) you have and click the Add -> button to move them to the Print color column on the right. If it's the first time printing, add your ink colors in the Print color entry dropdown.Paper Size: Pick the size of the sheet of paper for the machine – I usually print on Tabloid 11 x 17 inch.
