OK. So then the reality of CTP is that the CMYK you send is not the CMYK that you get -- that it's ripped through a CTP profile and essentially re-separated? I never realized that. Then the main difference is that rather than accepting my profile, they are characterizing the job on the basis of some representative proofs, and re-separating at plate-making time, or sending the EPS files through using transfer curve? And if that last is true, what might be the effect of sending hard CMYK values in the QuarkXPress files (which won't be EPS files -- I'm pretty sure they weren't expecting that)? Would they still match the identical CMYK value within the EPS file.

Dot gain, ink limits, UCR, GCR, Trapping, its all done in the RIP at the time of plate output to our specifications... and of no concern whatsoever to the files creator.

The deal with the .eps files... My guess here is that they are running a Rampage front end system that requires all pages to be converted to .eps files (with tiffs & fonts omitted). If they could talk you into doing it for them, its one less step they had to handle.
