    EPS specialness

    not sure about the first point, as I'm not sure what the Working would refer to in your scenario. point 2) you've asked photoshop to convert and its done it. point 3) postscript (and therefore EPS) does not understand ICC profiles, my understanding is that the ICC profile is embedded as an...

    Canon iPF6450 vs Epson 7900 Comparison

    a couple of years ago we had a Canon ip8400 and an Epson7600, my experience was that we were constantly head cleaning the Epson almost couple of days but the only time the Canon banded was when the head failed after about three years of intermittent use (we used them for proofing only, not...

    Used the Flatten form data to content Action list today, worked perfectly. Went to try and set custom quick key commands but only A-Z available, any reason I can't use 1-9? was hoping to set hide selection and show all same as Illy

    Quark 9: Exporting a PDF with DCS links, doable?

    toronar remembers correctly that Quark has never been able to produce a composite pdf with placed DCS. Resaving as psd used to work with quark 8.1 but I have a feeling that psd import XT was broken with one or two of the dot upgrades later on. If you save the DCS as a pdf and place that in...

    How QuarkXPress became a mere afterthought in publishing

    Hi almaink, I've seen the same thing once before, very similar content; drop shadows on circles that overlap, default Prinergy Trapping was my cause, turned off the Trap part of the Refine and everything was fine.

    How QuarkXPress became a mere afterthought in publishing

    Adobe's decision to bundle InDesign with the Creative Suite was IMO the main reason for Quark's demise, a lot of the InDesign features talked about in the article were there with the pre CS version 2.0 and there was very little take up. The Suite effectively gave it away free to anyone who...

    Editing PDF Form XObject

    I have pitstop 12 (sorry the version 7 I mentioned was the first version that was supposed to allow editing Form XObjects). Usually it's just adding bleed to a rectangle or two but the yellow box seems to act as part clipping path part group? the ungroup edit tool is greyed out, there is an...

    Editing PDF Form XObject

    Is there a web video available as to how to go about this? I'm reading that I'm able to to do this from Pitstop version 7. But am struggling to figure it out using guesswork. Sub question: is PDF Form XObject the correct terminology? Using the out-of-the-box Pitstop highlight colours, I'm...

    Color management with lamination

    Are there any "ball park" profiles out there, Rich Apollo described the colour shift pretty much spot on for a packaging job I'm looking at, the finished white is also about 8% yellower than my fogra39 proofing paper, some yellowing is down to board and some extra down to laminate. I don't have...

    When we moved, a Creo Engineer came in and removed the head, before the move then re-fitted it after the move.

    Corel and blending space

    Yes, on one file they are all sRGB when I start, Images and vector. As I mentioned I don't think the creator ever intended this file to be printed.

    Corel and blending space

    Sorry David, perhaps I should have started a separate thread. I only have PDF's, one lists Publisher and the other list InDesign as creator. I'm converting rgb to cmyk using Acrobat's Color Converter and suspect that leaving the Page Level Transparency Blending Space as rgb is causing my RIP...

    Corel and blending space

    Thanks Stephen, I'm not very familiar with Preflight Fixups so may be doing something wrong, I've created a custom one the same as your screen-shot (Fog39) but setting When: to Always (Override Existing), then I hit the Fix icon (spanner/wrench) at the bottom right and it brings up a Save As...
