Isn't that a novel idea! Unfortunately, the reality is we must resort to
workflow tools and plug-ins to *fix* broken software code in some of the
software you listed. Getting page layout, bitmap, and vector apps to print
the same is real difficult but not impossible. This is why most designers
and printers don't bother with color management because of the color
communication issues from program to program. Look towards Praxisoft for
their CompassPro XT plug-in or Autoflow workflow software. GretagMacBeth
also has some great workflow apps too. (BatchMatcher or iQue)
