Graphic Design Forum :: RE: Xerox Phaser 7700
I have a Xerox Phaser 7750GX and it's still under warranty by Xerox, for a few hundred bucks you can get extended warranty like that. It's well worth it, we have them come out once a year or so and do a PM and fix this or that. These printers run so good but I still think the warranty is worth it, ours runs all day and night and is under really heavy use. I would guess you have a bad imaging unit, which is also a consumable that has to be replaced from time to time. _ JoePostscript -- support administrator Expertise: quark xtensions developer, adobe plug... - Read More at This Link..

Hi Looking at building QuarkXpress 7.3 (intel mac) pages using exported xml files from our database. I am struggling to find 'how to tutorials' anywhere, have built pages in past using other apps and xpress tags, but complete novice with xml. Have extension and imported a file but from that point ...?! At this stage I don't need to know how to wright in xml but just to style and import the supplied text onto the Quark layout. Is anyone doing this or can point me in the right direction, been all over quark site and the net? Many thanks - Read More at This Link..

Preflight Software :: RE: QXP 7.31 will not print pdf
Hello, This is how I make a living. It's called PDF-X-Robot and it supports Quark Xpress and Adobe InDesign. That's all you need and there's no worry about PDF problems after that. Aside from being faster than any other way to create PDF files, it's proven in printing and publishing houses all over the world as the most reliable and consistant PDF creation there is. I installed 7 workstations in Jacksonville Friday and the lady was so happy to have PDF creation so fast, easy, and dialed in to be simple. There's less settings, steps, and problems than any other way ... - Read More at This Link..

hi and apologies for the very very late reply!! as soon as you export anything like an eps or tiff etc it flattens and rasterizes transparent areas - like drop shadows. so - when its rasterized it gets the background as you said you can try clipping areas as best possible, and in the raster effects ensure the correct setting are applied relevant to your needs, but i'll hark back to ai files where possible i think this all depends on where your logo's go really - if they head to indy then all will be fine if they head towards quark i'd maybe have a rethink, as it doesnt play with transparency well. if ... - Read More at This Link..

Hello, Has anyone ever created an image database that can be accessed from quark or indesign? Or, maybe created an opi workflow. The reason I'm asking is that we are starting to build up so many images in our system that when a user tries to import an image from a folder, it takes too long too see all of them. We are currently running os x using quark. Our server is an older xserve running 10.2.8. Any ideas would be appreciated! Cheers _ If it ain't broke... your lucky! - Read More at This Link..

Hi, My names Phil and I'm new to these forums. I had hoped to post something useful rather than a question for my first post. But as it happens an issue has arisen with one of our users and IÃm hoping that someone here may have come across something similar. I'm '3rd line support' for around 120 Mac users, in a large publishing/production operation. All Macs are built from standard images, for either PowerMac or Intel.

I barely have time for this forum, so I have not ventured out to others. My feeling is that I make work what people give me. Heres a good one - Photoshop TIF file - for a whole brochure, I am only starting out a over 75, 000 for starters. And, the best, it was all raster - no type layers, the whole thing flattened. 10 point type, yep. To each his own - at least they gave me bleed this time [/u] - Read More at This Link..

Prepress Software :: RE: how do you convert quark doc to pdf????
the answers again is no it uses jaws to create these pdf's, and to do that it generates postscript first = dead transparency. so - from quark there is no way at all to keep live transparency - yet it touts itself as supporting transparency. anyone got the number for the advertising standards authority? now i'm not saying that it will screw up every job - the point being that if you use transparency in your quark files, be very careful when going to pdf as it can <not always> screw your files. _ expertise: nothing - Read More at This Link..

welcome aboard sadly thats not strictly true - i do not believe that in quack 5 or 6 just by holding down the alt key you convert say a quack 7 file...... if you work in quack 6 (or 7) say, and open a quack 5 file that way then it may well work - the point being it is not a forwards compatible method - backwards only. indesign is very very similar to illustrator, so if you have experience in that then picking up indesign is a shallower curve. _ expertise: nothing - Read More at This Link..

That's listening to your user-base. All that and a pretty butterfly box, too. I think InDesign (even in all it's flawed execution) made everyone take notice. It forced the industry to rethink things and as a result, we ended up going places digitally that we never dreamed of in a strictly PageMaker/Quark world.

mate thats whats SO frustrating isnt it - its so damm far behind its rediculous - so to have something open a file more advanced and try to interpret that into a quack format is heading for disaster. we do need competition for ndy/illy/cs - are we really looking at just quack as an alternative? _ expertise: nothing - Read More at This Link..

i'd rather buy q2id and pray wonder if they fancy giving that away? my guess is not....... how about, instead of letting some poor misinformed user try to convert a nice clean indesign file with all manner of WORKING transparency, they actually make quack able to handle transparency properly itself first before trying to interpret files that CAN do it. really - what pile of crap is someone going to get from an indesign file like that - and in reality that kind of file is normal these days if anyone here is suckered in by this crap - well - i'd think i'd be surprised.... _ expertise: nothing - Read More at This Link..

Sure, There are several alternatives and all are FREE. A much better idea than paying like $400 for FlightCheck, software that will not be regularly updated. FlightCheck has run at a fraction of the speed it did in OS 9. Every update has been slower than the applications it checks.

Don't know anymore. Used Quark for a long time, but as I can see InDesign is challenging, they had done a lot of improvements and their marketing strategy is work of a genius. Anyway, I don't do much of a prepress anymore. I'm more intrested in color management and offset printing. Also working in photoshop big-time, mainly retouching photographs.

I really do need to sit down and learn InDesign, but it's just a matter of finding time to do so.

Desktop Publishing :: RE: EPS problems converting from Quark 7 to 6
Thanks to you all for your input - I'll give you some more insight to whats happening. We create kids pop-up books. So we have a quark document with artwork as a tiff. On top of that we have quark text, then on top of that we have a cutter guide which is created in Illustrator. This will be just a 100% magenta or 100% black vector line art, no background, no text or any other fancy business like drop shadows etc. this is then brought into a picture box in quark that overlays all the text and art so it has no run-around or background colour. Everything fine so far. If we now down-save to 6, open it in six, we have... - Read More at This Link..

Prepress Software :: RE: Thread on adobe photoshop forums-photoshop vector type
Using photoshop to carry type is a bad development and yes, should be avoided. It's a nice feature if you have no layout or illustration program. But good document construction should be done in a program that is designed for document construction, that would be Adobe Indesign or QuarkXpress. When you are trying to link up fonts and get a document to print, the more NESTED use of fonts and images, the worse the thing will go.

Hi, The thing is i've been following the steps you described for a long time now, but thanks anyway. However, using QuarkXPress 3, 4 or 5, I was able to paste the excel table into a picture frame and to obtain the expected result (though only for one-color plate - grayscale documents, for example) when using distiller to make the pdf. My question was why the later versions of Quark (6, 6.5 and 7) doesn't respond to this. Again, many thanks for your response. - Read More at This Link..

Yes, that's a major point that beermonster just made. Since we are speaking of converting docs between versions and even more of a nightmare, going backwards not forwards. Anytime you convert between versions it is of highest importance that all your links be updated and current, fonts all activated correctly, that a document is at its full integrity, THEN convert. To do so without having it COMPLETELY squared away will cause all kinds of stuff to go wrong. What beermonster brings up is a great diagnosis I think.

Hello, It sounds like your page size and page setup is not correct to the printers sheet size and file page size? You are simply printing this PDF to a printer by itself does it shift to the side? If you place it into Quark or InDesign will it shift when output? This sounds odd, without an actual copy of the file I can't think of what else to try. How much is it shifting and is it side & top, side & bottom, or just sideways. can you post or send a screen shot to demonstrate what exactly it's doing? Maybe could be more help if I couls really see a... - Read More at This Link..

Yes, that's a major point that beermonster just made. Since we are speaking of converting docs between versions and even more of a nightmare, going backwards not forwards. Anytime you convert between versions it is of highest importance that all your links be updated and current, fonts all activated correctly, that a document is at its full integrity, THEN convert. To do so without having it COMPLETELY squared away will cause all kinds of stuff to go wrong. What beermonster brings up is a great diagnosis I think. If... that image was imported.... then resized, resaved, or edited... but was never updated.... - Read More at This Link..

Hi nitey4ever, ANY process you can dream up, I can automate for you. That includes using PDF optimizer, or EPS to PDF to Proof or whatever, all applications, any process. If you can map out and vette a process and workflow that will work, I can automate that. Most of the stuff we have talked about here can be done for a few hundred bucks by paypal. So, if you decide what would work nicely for you I can automate it in a few hours and your problems are solved for good. Let me know if you want to get it done professionally.

Hi guys, thanks for the advice but have been busy on other projects lately. My state of play: Have downloaded off adobe.com a driver called 'generic postscript printer', the only one I could find there. When I've seen my printer guy select his in quark it just says Adobe PS, does this mean there different? I looked for the printer destination folder but could not find anything like this, I'm using Vista, any clues? I did manage to get my hands on an english distiller and have created a 'watched folder', wohoo! So I'm sorry to say I'm still failing miserably, but not defeated! - Read More at This Link..

Not necessarily. Like I said you have to look at the errors produced to see if they are acceptable to you. PDFX1-A is a strict profile looking for specific things wrong with the PDF file. For instance we use OPI image swapping and the OPI comments embedded in the PDF file will trigger an error with the PDFX1-A preflight profile, but that's acceptable to us because we need the comments. So you really have to look at the details. The main thing to look for is whether all your fonts are embedded, and whether your images are at a resolution you are expecting, like greater than 72 DPI which is only good for screen/web di... - Read More at This Link..

Problem saving Quark Xpress 6 file back to Quark Xpress 5
We are having a problem saving Quark Xpress 6 files back to Quark Xpress version 5. To send a file to a printer we had to resave it as Quark Xpress 5 so that they could work with it, the printer is still using QuarkXPress 5 on Mac OS 9. I created the file on QuarkXPress 6 on OS X 10.3. When do a "save as" to make it a version 5 document, it seems to lose many images and some image boxes. The folks at the printing company said others had been unable to save a file as a version 5 quark document without losing images and some links. Any ideas how to fix this, it doesn't seem to happen with every document and is therefore even more scary?

freelance developerDeviceN color settings from Quark Xpress 6 Tutorial?
Hi, browsing through the new settings in Quark Express 6, I found the settings in the output print settings for a DeviceN setting where I used to use CMYK. I am looking for a quark xpress tutorial about how and when to use this new setting. Does anybody know about it or willing to talk about when and where it's used? Nice site by the way, found it on yahoo search. The software looks great and I'd be interested to know more from users out there.

Mac OS X, Quark Xpress 5 display video redraw problem
Hi, I am having serious kaos with Quark Xpress 5 and Mac OS X running in Classic Mode. The problem is that Quark XPress 5 sometimes displays squirrely and has a shitty re-draw. We were told all we can do is collapse and expand the window and on redraw from that, it would correct its display. We are having rendering and redraw problems all day long! The window itself seems to be corrupted by other windows onscreen like a display conflict. The menus are grayed out and do not display options at all and palettes hosed up. Basically our mac os X machines render Quark Xpress 5 useless! Any ideas, workarounds, please help.
