These are the bars that run the length of the sheet at left and right edges on the full plate. We are outputting a proof that has been refined as 4-color process.

We have a GATF chart that has a bar for each color, cyan, magenta, yellow, black, orange, green. These have thin horizontal and vertical lines that printed horizontal and vertical, except the orange looks different on output, The angle of the rules changes on output to be about 20 degrees...

I can't believe we haven't noticed this before, but it is the icc profile causing the difference. If I strip out ICC tags using PitStop Action, everything reads correctly. I don't seem to have at Attachment option.

Yes. Illustrator reads the tint as 75%. I believe the Output Preview is adding dot gain. Thanks,

We have an InDesign CS4 file with PMS 877 as a solid tint and artwork filled with a 75% tint. PDF was exported with no color management. Checking the color in Acrobat 8 --> Output Preview the tint reads 85%. In PitStop the tint reads 75% of PMS 877. On plate, it reads 85% dot. What's going on?

This same customer had a very large upload going at the same time. Fortunately for me, the one they wanted us to fail were frozen. I'm afraid I might have just used up my "life is working with me" moment. :-)

We have a couple frozen uploads. The customer can't cause them to fail. Is there any way to force an upload to fail from the server side? Thank you, Linda Nivin

We copied files off (with OS 10.5) and copied back on and Snow Leopard can now see the files. I'm thinking it was a corrupted .DS_Store. No reproducible test now. But I appreciate the offer.

Viewing files with Snow Leopard isn't showing us all the files on an Isilon server. Viewing from Leopard all is well. Has anyone seen this and know how to fix it? I appreciate any advice. Linda Nivin

That's what I thought. Just wishing. :-)

Will InSite accept Spyder monitor calibration for Color Approval?

Thanks Matt! Costco's prices are really good. And being able to return it is a BIG plus.

Even though it would need to be a 13" mac? And less processor?

I'm sure this could apply to prepress departments also, but this is for my own personal info. Mac or PC. Limited budget choice - will be running all apps of CS5 Premium. PC - Toshiba Qosmio i5 with 4GB RAM - 18.4" laptop MacBook Pro - Intel Duo Core 13" which I can connect to a larger monitor...

I checked my preferences for black and it is set up for printing/exporting "All Blacks to Rich Black" but my black type always comes out Black only. This must be the default for InDesign. Hmmmm. So why is my program not exporting blacks as rich black. Do you feel the confusion?

One of our customers was using PDF/X-4 and it was either that or whatever they had under Color Settings, but their type - which was only black in the InDesign File - ended up 4-color black in the PDF. The PDF Preset Intent was US Web Coated SWOP v2. Thanks,

We do want to manage color in Prinergy. Our present setting for PDF preset has "No Color Conversion". I've also had our customers go under Edit --> Color Settings --> Emulate Adobe InDesign 2.0 CMS Off". Is this NOT the best setting?

I'm trying to totally understand how profiles function and how our customers should use them. Workflow - Photoshop --> InDesign --> Prinergy The profile is attached to the Photoshop file, which is placed in InDesign. InDesign has a different setup for Color Settings. This is output to a PDF...

Although the Collect Report gave the version, it didn't give the platform. The report does tell us the file started as a Quark 7 PC file. Then, it was saved as a Quark 8. At that point it doesn't give the platform. Opening on a Mac, it didn't say converting. We're going with Quark 8 on a...

Is there a way to tell if a Quark 8 file has been created on a Mac or PC? The file is using TrueType fonts available on both platforms. I looked under Properties but didn't see anything. Thank you, Linda Nivin
