Creating Print Presets

You can save all of the print settings you use for specific printers or certain types of jobs you print. These settings are saved as a print preset and they include almost all the choices you can make in InDesign’s Print dialog box. If you previously used QuarkXPress, you might have used the Print Styles feature, which is similar to Print Presets.

Creating a Print Preset

The easiest way to create a Print Preset is to open the Print dialog for a typical job in your workflow, set up each of the panels, and then click the Save Preset button at the bottom of the dialog box. That’s all there is to it! If you are simply setting up a preset and not printing, you can press Cancel to leave the Print dialog box.
