hello print people!!
...is anybody aware of issues with importing an already created Adobe Illustrator CS1 EPS file into QXP 7.3, then applying a quark box with a drop shadow above it...
...we had a job today from client with this very setup (a gradient background with vector stars), when printed to PS File and Distilled the transparent areas that interacted with the EPS background became very blocky indeed...
...all efforts to fix didn't work, although one area we haven't yet tried is to PDF the eps and import or save from acrobat to eps again...
...another issue we came across (from same client) is a Photoshop EPS clipping path from CS1 above another Photoshop EPS clipping path from CS1, the top clipping path having a drop shadow applied to it, again a blocky result around the drop shadow bounding area...
...tried to replicate the problem via CS3, but worked fine...
