Could it be in the original post that a PANTONE can not overprint itself, so each version would have to be a different ink for the overprint approach to stick.

Excellent post William. I don't want to defend Quark's color management, which seems to be only half thought through. I'm not even sure of the decision processes it makes but in your example I see it like this. Postscript doesn't support ICC profiles so when you save an EPS it can't embed the...

DCS to PDF support I think came in with CS3 (though I may be thinking of Illustrator). Also because this is a copydot it may be different anyway. I'd try and print separated postscript from InDesign and go from there.

Complicated text is almost certain to reflow. Its not just that you are dealing with Quark4 files, as text can reflow due to chip or OS. Whether you can use these files is going to depend on just how complex they are, its often quite a quick run through to fix the text issues by tweaking a few...

What did you get, and what did you not get? We went for Prinergy Powerpack it offered the advantages of full Prinergy plus specialist tools for handling packaging. All the bits/options that make up Prinergy are so complicated that even the sales people struggle to say what's included and whats...

Any chance of a link from here, I'm having a dense day, and can't find it after an hour of searching.:rolleyes:

do you have a link to any additional information about the "new workflow option"?

I'm sure I read somewhere that Photoshop Save As doesn't degrade jpeg unless you've edited some pixels. I'm interested if there was a difference between saves 9 and 10. it could be that all the difference was generated at the 1st save.

Flattening of the placed PDFs gets handled by JAWS on import, I don't think the flattening resolution for Export would make any difference to the quality. Quark specifically said NOT to re-place a native transparent PDF that it generated back into a quark layout but rather flatten it first.

Composite CMYK + Spot is under the hood DeviceN. Quark tries to move stuff to a DeviceN space and some preflights see cmyk stuff as Spot colours. Also Quark's Color management settings come into play, if you ask for cmyk to be managed to cmyk it will be, RGB will be converted to cmyk. As Is...

I think you need to have all pages accounted for in each signature. So you need to have page numbers 1-12 in sig one page numbers 1-16 for sigs 2 and 3. the saddlestitch binding will number these properly If you are already doing this and its not working then you need to set 2 sections in sig 1...

I've seen similar corruptions from InDesign and Quark, when you remake the PDF they are gone. If there is any anti-virus software I'd turn it off, if it gets worse I'd try and re-format or change the Hard Disk

Did your white boxes knock-out OK?

Sorry I didn't read your post properly, and assumed you wanted trim marks. This would be so easy with Signastation, again I'm not being helpful am I.:rolleyes: Would it be possible to Create a separate Smart Mark relative to the sheet/imposition for each page position, then group them in a...

Select the pages you need to add marks to. Template>Modify Template Page>Add Crop Marks often its best here, to not select add to outside only. Now hide your Pages and you should be able to click drag (over the whole mark) to select all the marks that you don't want and hit the delete key...

had a similar file with same symptoms a while back, nothing composite worked here at all, in the end I printed separated postscript and left it to the RIP to recombine to composite PDF.
