Printing vector graphics


    If an image includes vector graphics, such as shapes and type, Photoshop can send the vector data to a PostScript printer. When you choose to include vector data, Photoshop sends the printer a separate image for each type layer and each vector shape layer. These additional images are printed on top of the base image, and clipped using their vector outline. Consequently, the edges of vector graphics print at the printer's full resolution, even though the content of each layer is limited to the resolution of your image file.

To print vector data:

  1. Choose File > Print with Preview.
  2. Select Show More Options, and choose Output from the pop-up menu.
  3. Select Include Vector Data.
