  In 4.0, the Graphic can now be tiled saving an extra step in Ai.  :)

  Oh yes! I forgot about the option to tile the graphic, this is much easier. 

  1. Add a single repeat image of your print as a Graphic. 

  2. Right click on the Graphic and go to Tile. You can then choose pattern, tile X, Axis or Tile Y Axis.
