Question
Hello! I'd like my Illustrator CS3 file to print the same way it looks while in
Outline mode (i.e. View-->Outline), but there doesn't seem to be an obvious
method. Is this possible?
Thanks in advance for any help...
Hi Yiram,
You cannot print from outline mode but there is a work around. Select all (select>select all) and then choose a black 0.5 pt stroke with no fill. Then print. Be sure not to save your art after you print, just back it up with undos.
Thanks
Kevin

| Comment | Hey Kevin, Thanks for your timely and informative response! Although it wasn't quite what I was looking for (a rough/aliased look) it was much appreciated. | ||
