Why do CMYK process builds get changed?

That shouldn't matter - according to Illustrator's description of what that setting does, it only applies to RGB devices.

Gordo,

The display black options do not affect color values. The print/export black options should only affect color when outputting to a non-postscript device or to an RGB file format. Rampage will not directly accept .AI files so this printing company would have had to open the .AI and saved it back as out EPS or PDF. Opening and resaving should be a safe procedure. Still a mystery at this point.

I would run the file through my boss' Rampage system if you care to post the file or email it to matt@printplace[dot]com. My configuration may not replicate the problem but it may help you isolate if the issue originates in design or in production.
