Due to the kind of job, I do need the text to remain vectorized. Also, because my AE projects rely on the positioning of my AI files, I need to be able to just import the files rather than copy and paste the paths. Thanks much for your help.

try adjusting your hightlights/shadows using levels. You can move the gamma slider towards the hightlight or shadow to make the overall image lighter or darker. You can also adjust the brightness of your hightlights and/or shadows, so your printer is printing less of the image to full white/full black (do this by double clicking the hightlight and/or shadow eyedroppers and changing the Brightness value to about 96% for the highlights and about 4% for the shadows. do this on your final prepress file and save a copy of this (this version will be for print only). printers tend to lose details so your final image should be setup to compensate for this.
Hope this help…let me know how it works

If you print a CMYK image, it will look tinted because all the inks will be used when printing. I’ve heard of applying a solid layer of blue over the entire image and reducing the opacity to about 10% to make it “appear” more black and white, without looking tinted, but I haven’t tested this out. You could also take note of what color tint is showing up in your print, and then balance out the colors in the final image before you send it to print (for example, if you are seeing a magenta tint, increase the green color channel). Again, I’m not sure how great this will work.
If you want your image to truly be black and white, you should convert it to grayscale and specify in your print setup to print from black ink only. If you feel that your prints are not rich enough, maybe you could play with the levels right before you prepare your image for print to compensate for the print output.
Hope this helps…let me know if any of this works for you

thanks for the help, but that didn’t work either. the image still gets cropped based on the document size
