Options for printing graphics
When you are exporting or printing documents that contain complex graphics (for
example, high-resolution images, EPS graphics, PDF pages, or transparency ef-
fects), it will often be necessary to change resolution and rasterization settings to
obtain the best output results.
Send Data —Controls how much image data in placed bitmap images to send to
the printer or file.
All —Sends full-resolution data, which is appropriate for any high-resolution print-
ing, or for printing grayscale or color images with high contrast, as in black-and-
white text with one spot color. This option requires the most disk space.
Optimized Subsampling —Sends just enough image data to print the graphic
at the best possible resolution for the output device. (A high-resolution printer
will use more data than a low-resolution desktop model.) Select this option when
you're working with high-resolution images but printing proofs to a desktop print-
er.
Note: InDesign does not subsample EPS or PDF graphics, even when Optimized
Subsampling is selected.
Proxy —Sends screen-resolution versions (72 dpi) of placed bitmap images,
thereby reducing printing time.
None —Temporarily removes all graphics when you print and replaces them with
graphics frames with crossbars, thereby reducing printing time. The graphics
frames are the same dimensions as the imported graphics and clipping paths are
maintained, so you can still check sizes and positioning. Suppressing the printing
of imported graphics is useful when you want to distribute text proofs to editors or
proofreaders. Printing without graphics is also helpful when you're trying to isol-
ate the cause of a printing problem.
