Is it possible for a cmyk file that was proofed from Quark 4.11, to look
differently in appearance when proofed from Indesign? I normally Print from
Quark, but recently the computers hard drive that we were using for proofing
went bad. We had to use another departments computer which uses only
Indesign layouts to proof randoms. The proofs from Indesign did not match
our previous proof from Quark. I checked the color setting and found that
CM was turned off,but I could see that Generic RGB and Generic CMYK were
grayed out. I understand that Quark does not have the color managing
capabilities that Adobe utilizes. I noticed when trying to trouble shoot the
problem that when opening a file which had an embedded cmyk profile,
Indesign's CM message indicated that the file had no embedded profile.
Amoung the three choices given I mistankenly used do not CM, "use working
profile" and got a proof that did not match a previous proof printed out
from Quark. The working profile was different from the embedded profile.
However when I turned off CM I got a proof that was very close the Quark
proof. It was slightly warmer by two or three percent but noticeably closer.
I also tried proofing with CM on but applied the proper profile that matched
the embedded profile (cmyk), and got the exact same result as with CM turned
off. Is it possible that even with the proper profile applied that color
output will be different between the two applications?
