This is a good find. However, if anyone goes to the page they will need to do a search for either the word Quark, or Creo Color Tiff. Also, you can't download this file until you create a Creo account. For your second question, this is from memory as it's been a while (a long while) since I used Quark 4.x. When you create your spot color, you have the option to tell Quark to separate it to CMYK. Otherwise, when you print your document you will see the spot colors listed in the print dialog box. The issue you mention, I believe, has to do with pages saved in either EPS or DCS 2.0 formats which, in my opinion, is not the normal workflow. Hope this helps.

If anyone is interested, here is the link. It works well on colorized TIFFs, blends, and Photoshop spot color duotones: https://ecentral.creo.com/eCentral/Self_support/downloads_results.asp? ProductName=PrinergyConnect&countryid=global Now, if anyone could enlighten me on Quark 4.1 and the proper separation of multi-inks, I would be so grateful. Right now, they separate as process inks, and the Quark website lists the problem, but not the solution.
