Printing Method

You can set the Printing Method for every ink.

The Printing Method information can be used in SmartNames, or for Automation Engine task that handle the printing method.

By default, the Printing Method column is hidden. By selecting Show Printing Method in the fly-out menu you can make it visible.

You can change the Printing Method in the Ink Manager palette.

You can select one of the predefined printing methods, or create a new printing method.

Presets

As from version 12.1.2, when connected to an Automation Engine Server, the list of Printing Methods is loaded from the Automation Engine server.

Note: This implies that Printing Methods saved in earlier versions of Deskpack are no longer visible and will need to be redefined.

Printing Methods can be saved in the Automation Engine Configure tool, or in the Ink Options by selecting Save to presets

If there's no connection to an Automation Engine, the presets are saved locally in the Adobe Illustrator Preferences.
