June, there is a vertical slider on the right side of the color wheel you are refering to, Slide this down and it will darken the entire spectrum. Under the "edit colors" menu you can also add colors by selecting "new".

We see this from time to time in Quark 6.1 and 5. We have found that it usually means what it says. That the pdf has been password or security protected. I would open the document in acrobat first and look under File/Document Info/security and see if there really are some sort of...

I checked the site. The extension currently is only available up to 5.x (no 6.x support) We use both versions, so I may be out of luck for now. thanks for the info. It sounds like exactly what I need (just not for Quark 6).

We create our documents to trim size in quark and pull our bleeds off the edge of the page. We then print to an imagesetter with registration turned on to add our cut marks. My problem is I need to have some art (color bars etc) about an inche away from the cut marks. If I rotate my page and...

Is it more time consuming to create postscript and distill or to have your printer call and tell you your pdf won't rip and ask you to create and resend it again? Quark 6 and other newer programs use new technology to create pdfs. It used to be that when selecting output to pdf, the application...

I posted a similar question a while back with no results. We have a G5 Dual processor, 1.5GB of RAM OS 10.3.5 and Quark 6.1 Even the simplest operation (dragging an empty box across the page) brings up the spinning ball for a second. I have no crashes but it drive me nuts. Quark 5 on a slow G3...

The only thing the offset controls is the space between the cut marks. The cut stays the same no matter what the offset. We usually leave our offset set at 6. I think that is the default. It just leave a small amount of room in case the sheet moves a little, so you won't see part of the mark...

Not sure about your mouse. But to set no run around you need to change the setting with no documents open. Any prefereces set without a document open with be retained for all new documents. You just need to double click the box icon in your tool bar or I think you can change it in preferences.

As a side note... I just received an email from HP-Indigo regarding Quark 6.5. They have stated that YTD DOES NOT work with 6.5 HP is currently working on a version of YTD that will work with 6.5. At this time YTD works with Quark 6 and 6.1

We use Quark 6.1 and YTD on a G5 panther as well as Quark 5 and YTD on a G4 OS9. Our Quark 6 machine is fairly new, but it seems that it operates about the same as the older versions and machine. If you continue to have problems, why not use YTD for Quark 6? Could you fill us in more about the...

You should be able to print to a postscript file with the spreads button unchecked. This should give you single pages. Then distill the file to pdf. Print to a larger sheet than your page size so that you can include registration marks and bleed. 9x12 for an 8.5x11 sheet for example. Enter the...

I've had similar experiences. I've gotten better results from this forum. It's sad when a companies own support team isn't the most knowledgeable source around.

You can get a lot of different answers here. It depends on the equipment specs you will be using. Most presses run anywhere from 133-175 line screen, equivalent to 266-350 dpi. We have had acceptable results on our presses running lower resolution. Usually below 250dpi you will start to notice...

Classic is not running. I hardly ever use an app that needs it. Quark just wants to "think" for a second about every little move. The operation is fine. No crashes, Just a pause for even the simplest move of a box.

I'm not sure if that will work for you or not. If it doesn't... You should set your Quark document to the finished trim size of your piece. Then pull all bleeds 1/8 inch off the edge of the document. This is the standard way to set up documents for printing. The reason being that quark uses...
