it will be printed in Monitor Copy Level.
2. A line with anchor points of more than 257 can not be cut. Cut the line with scissors tool.

displaying the error message, [Illustrator can not be printed.]. In
this case, cut the line with scissors tool or if it is not the cut line,
rasterize it.

To print with only Cyan, please change the [RGB] indication in
Illustrator 8.0 and adjust the color as the right table.
