Please review the below workflow tips and best practices before you begin printing in the labs:

•  Save large files as NewschoolPDF and print from Acrobat. Save a copy of your file as a PDF. If using an Adobe program such as Illustrator, you will then see a PDF settings window. Select NewschoolPDF as the preset. Save the PDF to Work In Progress, and open it with Acrobat Pro.  
•  Save to, open, and print work from the Work In Progress drive.  Files printed directly from removable media (flash drive, CD, etc), the Drop Box, the web, or an email attachment may stall the printing network or become corrupted.  
•  Please be patient in times of heavier traffic. Printers can only process one file at a time. Sending your file more than once only adds to the traffic, slowing everything down. If your document exceeds 20 pages, try printing 20 pages at a time.  
•  Users may not add or remove paper in lab printers. Printing on your own paper is not allowed, except for photo paper in photo room printers. 
    

Make sure you opened your file from the Work In Progress drive. Do not print files from removable media, the Drop Box or files opened directly from the Web.

To print, go to File > Print, choose a printer from the pull-down menu, and click Print. You will be prompted to enter your NetID and password. After you verify the print credits for the job and click OK/Print, your job will print directly to the chosen printer. PDF format is recommended.

• Adobe RGB (1998) is the recommended profile for printing in Academic Technology Labs. RGB color converts automatically at each printer for quality color. Adobe CS design applications in the labs default to RGB mode, Adobe RGB (1998) regardless of whether or not they are vector or raster based.
• Note to those of you who are advanced "color managers": Technically, RGB mode is optimal for printing a raster file such as a Photoshop file or jpeg, while CMYK is optimal when printing a vector file such as an Illustrator file or gif.
• Academic Technology has implemented a deliberate and thorough plan for color management. This way, "what you see is what you get." Input devices (such as scanners), monitors, and color printers are all calibrated and synchronized to create uniform color throughout your workflow.
• When you create a new file in the labs, the file is by default set for you to work with the correct color profiles. RGB mode Adobe RGB (1998) is the default for Adobe CS applications. The working RGB color profile is "Adobe 1998", and the working CMYK color profile is "U.S. Web Coated (SWOP)v2".
• If you worked with a different color profile at home and embedded the profile into your documents, when you open the files in the labs choose "Convert Document's Colors to the Working Space" when you are prompted. This will bring your file into the correct lab workflow.
