There are a few things you can do to help speed up the process of saving your illustrations in Illustrator. One is to use the batch save command. This command will save all of your illustrations into a single file, and will also include all of the associated files needed for printing. To use the batch save command, open Illustrator and click on the File menu item. Then, select Save As… and enter a filename for your new illustration file. Click on OK to close Illustrator and start saving your illustrations.
