1) You really have to find out.

2) Use Colour Chameleon or PitStop Pro is what you need to do.

3)Make sure. Look in your printer driver properties and tell us how it is set to handle TTFs. This _is_ important for your original question.

4) I don't know what to tell you, but somebody won't be happy if your printed docs look like garbage.

      So, what I'm hearing is that Framemaker is only going to be good for printing
      B/W documents, basically.




Not at all. What you are hearing is that while color online is free, color in print is expensive. More than just being something anyone can do unconsciously, there is a skill or trade here. If you want color in-print, you have to _set up_ for color in print. The problem is the Windows GDI converts everything to RGB. But, reflected light and the print world, and inks, are CMYK. And, then, there are spot colors.

The short of all this is that Windows is a bad platform from which to send color to press. This is underlined by FrameMaker for Windows reliance on the Windows GDI for color output to PostScript. If you are sending color to press, you really need a workflow set up to send color to press, such as FrameMaker on a Mac or Colour Chameleon, or PitStop Pro, etc.

However, I am amazed your print vendor has said nothing about you sending them RGB color . . . weird. Maybe you should just hold tight and see what happens.

Now, the color thing is an aside. It has nothing to do with the blurryness issue. Checkout how your TTFs are being handled by the Distiller Printer in the printer properties. Let us know. Also, what fonts are these anyway, what names?
