Hi Scott
If im getting you right now,
its Quark Xpress way of sending composite output,
thats why my Pantone Colors in the Quark with Compass Pro XT
get converted to CMYK values.
But when i dont use Compass Pro XT i aint getting this problem!?
And yes im printing to a Fiery rip with a CLC.
I can see the same problem when just printing to a PS file (using
Acrobat PPD 4) and Compass Pro.
I cant really figure it out where the problem is, is it
Quark Xpress fault or Compass Pro or is a mix?
Mikael-that hopes Quark Xpress 5 will have better CMS support
