Can you fit separations to page

[chris_greenlee@adobeforums.com]

While this isn't a subject of great import, I'd love to know if it is possible. When preparing a file to go to a print vendor, I usually provide a set of separations along with the rest of the my art files, especially if there is a spot color in the document. If my finished piece is, say, 13" x 20", I'd usually include a color comp, at 75% on a 11 x 17 sheet, and mark the comp as being at a reduced size. HOWEVER, you can't specify your separation print out to be reduced, which means I have to provide tiled sets of separations. No huge problem, but just more work and more paper. Is there anyway to reduce your seps to the same percentage, like you can with a composite?? thanks for any replies.

I believe I can do this in AICS. Are you using an earlier version?

[chris_greenlee@adobeforums.com]

Doug,
I'm using AI v10. Haven't upgraded to CS yet. Maybe it can't be done in my version.

[Doug_Katz@adobeforums.com]

Well the CS print engine is much improved over v.10.

No, not that I am aware of in 10.

I would suggest making a pdf and printing from Acrobat or reader for the separations.
