Note:
Compared with the difference between Illustrator CS and 7, Illustrator CS2 has less differences.
But we are happy to tell you that the "missing print data" trouble caused by mis-maching of "default
printer" settings and "existent file". But it is better to set GT-541 (FileOutput) as a default printer
of your PC.
As for general information, refer to Illustrator Help, Illustrator
CS page, and Instruction Manual(PDF).

 For those who have trouble
in colors:
There are lots of color troubles happen with Illustrator.
If you are a designer, please start working with your artwork in RGB, just like Web designing.
Open the new document with color space in RGB. Never use use Pantone® or other "ink" color palettes
just to fill in the objects. Before filling colors, print Color Chart
in Printer Driver menu.
For your further information, refer to TIPS of Color Matching and
If CMYK pages and see how yellow goes dull and dotted.
If you are not a designer but receive data in Illustrator format, please open it with Photoshop
and change it into RGB color space. Then you can retouch the artwork with tone curve, color balance,
etc. Or use Vivid Proessing in Printer Driver Menu. Also
refer to Artwork that your customers bring page. Try it to
get better T-shirt.

If you make a new file, be sure to select the mode as RGB color.
When you open an existent file, be aware of the paper size and color mode.
If the existent file is CMYK color, Not only changing color mode but also refilling colors are
necessary for beautiful print. If you can refill each object, change color mode with [ File ] > [ Document
Color Mode ] and refill colors with RGB color palette. If you cannot, copy all objects and open new
RGB file and paste them. If a file is CMYK color mode, many colors, especially yellow, purple and black
may not be printed as you want. So refill those key colors in RGB colors (e.g. pure Yellow is not Y100%
but R=255, G=255, B=0) to make the artwork brigher. For further information, go to
If CMYK to see what's happening and select beautiful colors from Color
Chart.
