Hi
I got a client that uses Praxisoft Compass Pro XT 2.2.1,
and we ran into a big problem, when we print to a CLC and
in Compass Pro XT setup we have told the Xtension to ONLY
convert RGB data not PMS, but it also converts Pantone Colors...
I have been try mailing Praxisoft but i havent got any answer! =(
I can see it in the colorpalette in Quark that the PMS color have been
changed to CMYK values.
But only when i print, not convert the document. The logfile says the
PMS color is untouched but it aint.
Anyone have run in to this problem?!
Cause i havent got a answer from Praxisoft i 2 months!!
/Mikael
