Is it possible that you don't use the "Use Custom Rendering Settings"? Normally the RIP should automatically use the optimal settings. There is normally no real need for setting the Spot function and the Frequency. Please try exporting with "Use Custom Rendering Settings" unchecked. I will try to fix that bug asp, but i can't guarantee that its fixed before Friday evening. Greetings, Franz Schmid -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
