First, thank you all for participating in this issue. OK, understood that Illustrator will parse PS and EPS when it opens and render to CMYK. Understood also that, according to Document 311742 (http://www.adobe.com/support/techdocs/4aca.htm) with Illustrator 9 and 10 "you must embed linked files that interact with transparency" (we have a lot of transparencies). At any rate, I figured the preview problem out. If the EPS is saved without preview, then there is none in Illustrator. The preview, of course, is platform-specific, which means practice that if you use the Windows preview then you can see it on Mac and Windows. What gets me is that a) the image is printed as previewed on a Lexmark (ie: chunky bitmap), which has a pretty good PostScript emulator b) the images which have no preview or cannot be previewed do not print at all. Can I assume that a native PostScript RIP (ie: one which is not an emulator) will actually render the linked images according to the linked original image? Gunnar
