Notes:

The Paper Size setting defines the dimensions of the output. By selecting "from Page Setup," the paper size selected in the Page Setup window (i.e., Maximum Image) is used.

Select the Orientation that will best fit the paper size for your Approval.

Vignette Resolution and Noise for Vignettes: ArtPro converts vignettes into images upon output. For Approval, use the same value used for output to plate or imagesetter. (Standard resolution and noise for imagesetters is 150 dpi and 1%.)
