Do not use the "Lens, Transparency" because it will really slow the printing process.
For bitmap image must manipulated in Adobe Photoshop only, and then save to the *.tif format, should not compressed after it imported into your new File (FreeHand).
Make sure there is no alpha channel when you prepare your bitmap file in Photoshop, because Freehand not automatically support alpha channel and it will not be printed, even the image seams appear in Photoshop.
If you intend to open the FreeHand files at another computer via CD, DVD, Flash Disk, Removable hard drive, etc. you must copy the Bitmap file [*. tif, *. tiff, etc.] that appear in your FreeHand design. Because all the bitmap that appear in the your freehand files are not fully imported [only a link bitmap].
To know what bitmap files that appear in your FreeHand file, you can check out at "Edit, links".
When Bitmap File disappear or not required, make sure to remove [delete] it from your Freehand file because it will disturb the printing process later. Then you must import the bitmap again.
