Thanks for your help ... I contacted the printer, armed with informed questions about imposition software, and was able to establish a format for submission.

Thanks Ryan ... I'm wondering would the printer (as in the place to which we are sending the booklet to be printed, not the thing that's sitting in the corner of the room!) have imposition software? If we sent them spreads, would they be able to use the software to correctly paginate the booklet?

My students are producing a booklet using QuarkXpress Passport 4.1 for their end of year show, and I was wondering if anyone can tell me how the pages need to be laid out for printing in booklet form? I know that chosing "spreads" in the printing options allows double pages to be printed...

The EPSON C84s are connected to old G4 towers running OS 9.2. You don't know our tech support ... in the WEEKS it would take them to get round to this I should be able to extract some sort of answer from someone!! I have desktop printer icons set up for an HP 4200 N networked laser printer...

I work in a college where we have postscript laser printers and non-postascript ink-jet printers available for students. The laser printers have icons on the desktop which makes it (fairly!) easy for the students to click, make default and then print away. Setting up the ink-jets just seems to...

I don't work for a 'company' (at least that's what they keep saying ... ) I'm a lecturer in Further and Higher Education. We have an HP LaserJet 4200n as well as EPSON C70s and C84s, so we do have postscript capabilities ... but only in greyscale. I was just hoping that it was something I...

Thanks for all your suggestions. I think the best plan of action I can see is to get a copy of Acrobat (thanks for the GhostScript suggestion - - picklefish - - but I think my IT admin would erupt if I downloaded and installed it!). There are no alpha channels in the TIF, Duncan. Cheers for...

It was saved from Photoshop 5.5, and it doesn't use LZW compression. Even if it did we have the LZW compression Xtension loaded to handle it. I thought the only options you could use with a TIF image were Mac or PC coded, and LZW compression. So where does a TIF 'version' fit in with this?

How can you save a TIF in Photoshop with backwards compatibility?! I was under the impression that (with a few options) a TIF is a TIF is a TIF ... ??

But don't you need Adobe Acrobat and Adobe Distiller in order to output as PDF ... ? Needless to say, I don't.

Sorry to tag on to such an old thread, but I was wondering if anyone could point me in the direction of some information about how Quark handles files sent to print on a non-postscript printer? Some of the images seem to come out perfectly, and others come out looking like snow storms!

No ... the dialogue has a lot of greyed out functions (I'm using an EPSON C84 printer, and it seems to remove quite a lot of the printing options), but the print quality is set to normal (that's the higest of the three settings). I've been over the print settings with a fine tooth comb ...

I'm using Quark Passport 4.1. I have an RGB TIF file (also tried CMYK version ... same result), 300 DPI, which I am trying to print as part of a page layout from Quark. When printed from Photoshop the image looks fine, but Quark will only print out a low-quality, blocky version of the TIF...

I don't think you understand. I work for a College teaching Graphic Design. Our students obviously need to be able to print their work, but we are finding that they are printing full colour A4 sheets for proofing purposes, and it is SLAYING our ink resources! What we would like to do is to...

We have a number of Macs (everything from 8600/200s to G4s) linked on an ethernet to which a number of printers are also connected. I was wondering if there was any way to instert a dedicated mac as a 'print manager', so that all jobs sent to print arrive on that machine and are inserted into a...
