Quark 3.32 / 4.02

Selecting Pantone coated color from the library has a suffix of CVC.

An EPS file (created by a DTP application such as Photoshop for Duotone images, PageMaker, FreeHand etc.) which include such a spot color, might have the following problems when placed into QuarkXPress:

• QuarkXPress color table will display the spots separations names with a suffix CV instead of CVC.
• Using Spot Color Extension prior to version 2.0 (the current version), all modifications (such as overprint, opacity etc.) performed on the spot separations will be ignored by the RIP
• The RIP process will produce two spot separations out of the same color. One from the original EPS, with the suffix CVC and the second from the Quark color table, with the suffix CV

All to Spot mode will work properly only when there is no special definition in the spot color Xtension and the placed Spot color is not used on other objects in the document.

All to Spot mode will convert the placed EPS Spot color, to process (the CMYK equivalents).

Work around

Working with the Specific info mode (available in the RIP dialog), and merging the two similar spot separations into one (‘Pantone xxx CVC’ into ‘PANTONE xxx CV’), will guarantee the output of one spot separation only.
