Colorized TIFF files
●
Colorized TIFF files used with OPI result in lost background color.
Instead, create the effect in Adobe Photoshop or output fat
PostScript.
●
Multi-ink colorized TIFF files do not output correctly. In a fat
workflow, multi-ink colorized TIFF files are missing from the final
PDF file. In a thin workflow, they are converted to CMYK on thin
PDF output or are colored incorrectly in thin PostScript output.
Geometry from PostScript
●
PostScript generated from the Print dialog results in incorrect
TrimBox geometry after refine in Prinergy. This was fixed in Prinergy
3.1.0.3.
●
Bleed box in Quark7 PS is rotated. Exporting PDF from Quark
maintains the correct bleedbox. This was fixed in Prinergy 4.1.2.2.
●
QuarkXPress 8 geometry issues that were fixed in Prinergy 4.1.2.2:
○
PostScript subpage (refined) rotated 90
○
PostScript missing trim and bleed after refine
●
PostScript generated from QuarkXPress 8.01 Print dialog box results
in missing geometry (trim box and bleed box information). To
workaround this issue, export PDF from QuarkXPress instead of
using the Print dialog box. This was fixed in Prinergy 5.1.2.1.
QuarkXPress 6.5: Issues and observations
The QuarkXPress 6.5 software has issues with blends, QuarkXPress-
generated PDF files, colorized TIFFs used with OPI, and PDFs placed in
QuarkXPress.
●
If you are running a Prinergy system only, an Invalid Restore error
from Prinergy normalize function may occur when refining DeviceN
color PostScript. This has been fixed in Prinergy 2.1.0.21 and later.
This was also an issue for older versions of the Distiller Assistant.
Workarounds included outputting as PDF from QuarkXPress 6.5, or
pre distilling using a newer version of the Distiller Assistant.
●
Blends from QuarkXPress 6.5 may be subject to stepping, which is
abrupt shifts in tone. Blends are represented not as a single high-
quality shading object, but as multi object groups. Check for this by
viewing a QuarkXPress 6.5 PDF file in wire frame mode. This might
not be an issue for small blends, high-contrast blends, or lower-LPI
scenarios, but it may produce stepping effects in blends with subtle
