Is it possible to use different graphic style for display vs printing?

Hi jollypanda2,

Thanks for reaching out. While Illustrator doesn't provide a direct feature for separate graphic styles for display vs. printing, you can achieve a similar result using layers and appearance settings. Here's a suggested approach:

1. • Create two layers in your Illustrator document, let's say "Display" and "Print."
   • Apply your desired graphic styles to objects on the "Display" layer to make them look good on the monitor.
   • Adjust the colors, strokes, etc., as needed.
   • Duplicate the objects you want to print on the "Print" layer.
   • Adjust the graphic styles of the duplicated objects on the "Print" layer to make them suitable for printing. Darken the colors or modify stroke thickness accordingly.
   • When you want to preview for display, toggle off the "Print" layer.
   • When preparing for print, toggle off the "Display" layer.

This way, you can manage different styles for display and printing using layers. It might require manual adjustments when switching between layers, but it provides a way to control the appearance for different purposes.

I hope this helps!

Best,
