Symptoms

 

DCS images that have been placed in Illustrator and OPI'd sometimes loose their clipping path, making the entire image visible.


Cause

  This is caused by a bug in the OPI engine. Any images with clipping paths made up of multiple subpaths (more than one closed path, for example) will not have their clipping paths honored by the OPI engine.

Solution

 

Update Prinergy to 2.1.10? (Patch level TBD)

Create multiple images in Adobe Photoshop, each one having clipping paths that are composed of a single subpath, and place each of the images in Adobe Illustrator in the correct position. This may not be possible for very complex images that cannot have their paths separated.

Permanent fix:
