    Open Page on Multiple Machines

    In a XP/NT/2000 network system, we use server controls and restrictions to lock opened files. I unfortunately don't know details or if it would work on a Mac server system. I hope this helps. Chadoe

    Quark won't print to Epson 2100

    Okay, here is a list of things to check/test. Just remember I'm throwing out everything, so some will be 'no duhs'. Are the images sized properly. 100% of box size. Use Utilities>Usage to see if the image needs to be updated. Re-import the image with File>Get Picture. Match the Printer and...

    Quark 6 not saving files

    Just an update. Our IT department has me testing an updated version of the Novell Netware Client (4.90 SP1a) and the file locking issue seems to have been resolved. Novell stated on thier website that the locked files issue affected other programs as well. So bottom line, have yout IT...

    Saving a pantone + black eps but NOT a duotone

    I have to do this often for our newsletter. Here is what you do. First ALWAYS work on a copy of the original file! 1. Open the grayscale airplane image and do whatever edits/adjustments you need to do. 2. Select the portion of the image you want to stay grayscale. 3. Decide how much you want...

    Greyscale PDFs in Quark separating into cmyk

    Definately convert the PDFs to another format, be it Tiff or EPS. Then you can assure yourself that the images are grayscale. I use Illustrator if I need to keep the vector and type items editible or Photoshop if all I need is a raster file. The devil is in the details! Make sure that however...

    Quark 6 not saving files

    We have the same issue! And it is driving me NUTS!!! We run Quark 6.1 on WinXP PCs with Novell Network. A file is opened/created/edited then saved and closed. No one else can open that file, including the person who created it (unless the creator uses the 'Recently Used Files'). It doesn't...

    what is the diff between CMYK and Panntone?

    Another item is to make sure you have the most current Pantone profiles installed. Pantone updated the values in 2000 so some older programs don't have the correct CMYK values for the current Pantone colors. Quark 4, Photoshop 6, Illustrator 9 and older have the old values. You can download the...

    how to save black/wht photos

    Check with you printer for thier specifications for image files. They should, if they know what they're doing, be able to give you the file types, settings color modes etc that works for their specific printing processes. On a side note. Quark will create a larger file if you use EPS or Tiff...

    newbie ? what size to scan picture

    Start by scanning the images at least 2 times the actual size in the document and at 300 dpi. Next duplicate and save the originals to a safe place then work on only the duplicates. Do all of your image placements and design work, including recolor, touchup, editing etc. After the final document...

    cant print .eps or .ai files in layout at correct quality

    You answered your own question with your second post. EPS and AI are both postscript images. and thus need a Postscript driver to print them correctly. What you are getting is the thumbnail or saved preview. If you have a Postscript printer available, print to it to see the difference. Good...

    Photoshop to Word (hell)

    The big item you need out of all of these is the 300 dpi @ 100%. This is the default printer resolution for most desktop publishing programs. Create your image at whatever size you need @ 300 dpi. Then save it in whatever format your version of Word will except JPG ( low compression is...

    Photoshop image sizes are smaller than the window on my desktop shows

    There are a couple of possibilities here. Let's start with possible reasons the file size outside of PS is larger that what it shows in PS. Is the file flattened? Are there multiple layers? Are there any Alpha channels? Are there any paths? What color mode is being used? What DPI is being used...

    Print Layout - Help!!!

    How about a quick and dirty way? Take the two pages you want on the front and place them in the 'Document layout' box side by side. Left page to the left and Right page to the right. Then do the same to the next two pages. When you enter the 'Print' dialogue check the 'Spreads' option under...

    How do I create a double-page spread?

    Try this: In Quark create two new pages. Drag the second page to the right of the first page. You should now have a two page spread. Now do your page design as though you are working with one large page. When you are done, duplicate any portion of the spread that overlaps the center gutter...

    Any one know how to format a file to be read in Word?

    I have had the same thing come up at my work too. Unfortunately I gave up trying to import/export a Quark file into MS Word and just dug into Word. I found that with a heavy hand and a bunch of Help file reading I was able to set up a templete that they could drop stuff into without too many...

    Printed photos appear darker than with Pgemkr

    Check you color settings for ICC profiles. I'm assuming you do image editing in Photoshop and/or Illustrator. What's happening is that Quark may not be using, or using incorrectly the ICC profiles created by the Adobe products. And of course since Pagemaker is an Adobe product, they speak the...
