To print a composite

Printing composites

You can print a composite of an image by combining all colors, text, and objects on a single sheet for proofing. In a composite, continuous tone is simulated by halftone dots printed in lines. Choosing a higher number of lines per inch (lpi) reduces the size of the halftone dots and the space between them, creating a more finely rendered result.
