    Exporting pdfs without a specific spot color

    I've got FPO copy in a file set to a specific "FPO Ignore" spot color so we can ignore the color in Rampage. That way we don't have to actually delete copy from a file to make it FPO -- it just goes away in the RIP. Anyone know of a way I can generate a pdf from either Quark or InDesign and...

    Angle for spot screen over process

    Here's a design technique I've never seen before: I've got a 5 color job with large fields of spot PMS 144 and some 4/C photos. No problem, right? But in one area, they've got a swoosh of the 144 laying over top of part of a 4/C photo, and the swoosh is set at 60% opacity in InDesign. Am I...

    Not sure if this is a PC/Mac issue, or a ZIP/Stuffit issue, but I occasionally receive fonts from clients that unstuff as Zero KB Unix files.

    Quark 8, 7, 6, etc.

    Humidity and Proofers

    We're running a pair of HP5500s, one with a DoubleProof and one single-sided. We've had the GEI-Calgraph techs out here a bunch of times working on alignment/skew/media path issues with the DoubleProof. They brought up humidity concerns, which I had known about, but I had assumed dryer would be...

    DoubleProof Manager

    Anyone using the DoubleProof Manager software any more? I recently purchased a DoubleProof, and our combination of Rampage and SignaStation imposition is giving it fits. It seems that DoubleProof Manager will help the proofs align correctly, but I'm hesitant to add another step to the proofing...
