I've tried your suggestion but I still get the same problem, when I create a ps file manually the size is 532k, when I create one with the applescript the file size is 170mb?

Any other ideas would be appreciated. According to the Quark library I should be able to use 'OPI omit TIFF and EPS' in the PRINT line of the script

Just call the Opi setup before page setup…

It works with Xpress 6.5

Luca

set savepath to path to desktop as text

set savepath to savepath & "xxx.ps" as string

tell application "QuarkXPress Passport"

tell document 1

----------------------OPI before page setup

set include TIFF of OPI setup 1 to false

set include EPS of OPI setup 1 to false

----------------------

set vertical measure to millimeters

set horizontal measure to millimeters

set MyDocWidth to width of bounds of current page as real

set MyDocHeight to height of bounds of current page as real

set properties of print setup to {printer type:"Prinergy Refiner", paper size:"custom", paper width:MyDocWidth + 50, paper height:MyDocHeight + 50, bleed:25 as millimeter units, orientation:portrait, page position:center position, print colors:composite CMYK, resolution:2400, halftone screen:175, print spreads:false, reduce or enlarge:"100%", registration marks:centered, include blank pages:true, paper offset:0 as point units, page gap:0 as millimeter units, separation:false, print thumbnails:false, back to front:false, page sequence:all pages, registration marks offset:12 as point units, data format:binary data}

end tell

-- Print the PostScript

set theOriginalName to name of front document

set AppleScript's text item delimiters to "."

set theName to text item 1 of theOriginalName

--set thePSfile to (ps_folder & theName & ".ps") as string

print front document PostScript file savepath
