John: We use Photoshop eps in Quark documents in order to preserve data
when postscripted.
Roger: In order to preserve 'what' data? The pixel data?
John: The color space. See below:
"If you place a cmyk tif or jpg into Quark and inadvertently print rgb
(or vice versa) it will be (very poorly) converted into that color space."
Roger: Well, I promive that won't happen in IDCS.
John: I know, but I work for a service provider. The overwhelming
majority of our clients use Quark.
"Also we use dcs2 files sometimes if a print job requires interaction
between 4c and spot, eg. a black or 4c drop shadow that needs to print
over (or under) a spot color.
BTW, are there alternatives to dcs2 files for 4c + spot Photoshop files?
>> I find them a little annoying.
IDCS will accept PSDs with spot channel eg 4C + spot.
John: I know, but again, our clients use Quark.

P.S. Is there some kind of industry push toward getting rid of the eps
format? Sometimes when I mention that I use eps files I get these
emotional responses from people from Adobe like I'm dabbling in Satan
worship or something.
Read my previous posts...
John: Come to the Dark Side...together we will rule the night...(insert
maniacal laughter here)
