-=> Quoting stech@eskimo.com to All <=- st> Anyone have problems with the PCX graphic format? We scanned about 200 st> Grayscale pictures with Photoshop for a 2-color catalog and saved them st> as PCX so they could import into both MS Access and also Pagemaker. On st> outputting the 2-color separation from Pagemaker to our RIP (which we st> can view on a monitor), we discovered that Pagemaker is putting the st> graphics in both the Black and the Color (Magenta) separation (should st> show up only in the Black). Are you using Color Central as a spooler? We had several instances very similiar to yours (outputing black and red, tiffs being greyscales). We wasted out a *lot* of film (before getting smart and resorting to paper) trying to figure things out; once we stopped using the spooler, we got good output. I hope your solution is as easy :-) - -- | Jason Fesler | Disguised as jfesler or jfroot@infomania.com when working | GIGO support mailing list: listserv@gigo.com, msg body "subscribe gigo" | Remember kids, don't park and drive - accidents make people!
