I should have been clearer--a rampage ripped file--when viewed through the 'rampage' client (monitor proof) should be identical on any platform--the only reason I can see that the file would appear different is IF the OPs viewed PDF is made using the rampage 'proof pdf' setting from within the...

true that PDF is not a closed format--but a 'Rampage' ripped file is a proprietary format!

What do acrobat settings have to do with a PDF ripped through Rampage?--on either MAC or PC you should be viewing the ripped PDF through the 'Rampage client monitor proof'--on either computer you should be viewing the exact same file that is on your server--any other method of viewing the PDF...

CS4 should--for CS5 you will need Mac OS X v10.5.7 or v10.6.3

change the .psd file to CMYK--your current file is RGB and THAT will cause problems. THEN-build your file so it looks like the example of 'Samsung Tissue' (multiple images placed into an illustrator file over a spot color background--with artboard sized to the size of the final printed piece)...

or like this

I thought this was going to print in WHITE--now you are saying you want to print in a spot color--that makes this whole process different--because--IF you want the 'yarn' to be white on a colored background (dark fabric for example) it would need to be printed in a solid spot color and then...

I examined the original poster's .psd file--I tried saving this particular photoshop file as an eps--it has a solid white background when placing it into illustrator...which means a RIP or imagesetter would see white on white i.e. nothing

1. when you place the .psd file into illustrator--make sure to check the 'link' check box in the place dialog (your example file is one layer and the embedded image cannot be separated from the background 2. assuming that the background spot does not print--put in on a separate layer--behind the...

assuming you are using CS6...and you have an older version of CS available--open the 'older' apps folder--find the color libraries--then copy them your CS6's color libraries folder--then you have all your old favorites available

---there are variables--but--assuming a direct to plate process is being used--by default most platesetters use a 15 degree screen angle for spot plates--change it to 45 or 90 and the banding 'may' disappear

there is NO indication of banding in the jpeg you posted! what program was the image created in? when we have this problem--we open the image in photoshop and add a small amount of 'noise' and then output to our epson proofer to see if the banding goes away--IF the image is a spot color--the...

the print house will worry about those things--BUT--note: my specs are based on 1/4" gutters, some binderies prefer larger gutters, especially for 'perfect binding' which requires a 'spine grind': that could/ will decrease the page size.---best to contact your printer about how they will impose...
