CMYK Image Colors VS. Quark CMYK colors

[designchicago]

I am a designer and I am photoshopping a background color into a photograph and for the sake of this example it is Blue. I build the file in photoshop with correct CMYK values for print, save myself a 72 DPI JPG for position while laying out. I put a color in Quark that is the same CMYK value and start designing. When I put the image into quark and add a block of color, those colors are completely different. It is as if the Picture is displayed in RGB conversion because it is lighter and more saturated.

Try the senerio below and if you can, tell me why these colors are so different and what I could do to get them to look the same.

1. Create a photoshop document in CMYK mode and fill the background with 100c, 50m, 0y, 0k. Save it as a 72dpi JPG.
2. Create a Quark 6 document, add a CMYK color with the values above.
3. Import the image, fill a text box witht the quark color.

The one from photoshop will (but I think it should not) applear brighter and lighter while the quark color should look close to the printed color (darker)

This has been nagging me and there should be a way to fix this. Let me know.

Thanks

Open your Quark prefrences and select Quark CMS. Check "Color Management Active". Set you desired Monitor profile under "Destination Profiles" (I'd try Generic RGB). Then set "Display Simulation" to "Monitor Color Space". You may want to play around with the other settings, but Quark CMS is where you'll find your answer.

Thanks, Display simulation was the answer
