************Resent without the attachment*********
Hi Wayne;
Attached is an updated Script.xnt file for Quark 6.5. 6.5 is a free update
from QuarkXPress which I highly recommend. The issue is caused by 10.4.x
printing. It is handled different from 10.3.x. It took Quark a long time to
fix this issue. The only way to get the file was by creating a support call
with Quark. They have recently released a package called Output Enhancements
which includes the updated Script.xnt if you are uncomfortable using the one
I have attached.

As for the print colors "As Is", if you do not specify a preference it will
use your document default. The only way to over-ride this behavior is to
create .eps files of each piece of art used in the document, the .eps
information will over-ride Quarks instructions.
Hope this helps.
