CREATING POSTSCRIPT FILES FROM QUARKXPRESS 4.0 FOR MACINTOSH

Note: If your document contains two-color blends or pseudo duotones, you need a special Quark Xpress extension called Prinergy Xtension. This extension has to be installed before you can generate PostScript files.

Step 1

  • From the File Menu select Print.
  • On the Document tab, Select Include Blank Pages (see Figure 1).
  • Set the Registration to Centered.
  • Bleed amount should be 3/16".
  • Offset should be a minimum of 24 pt.

    Step 2

    1. On the Setup tab, select the Printer Description for either Prinergy Refiner or the Acrobat Distiller PPD (see Figure 2).
    2. The Paper Width should be 1" wider than the width of your document.

    Step 3

    1. On the Output tab, set Print Colors to Composite CMYK (see Figure 3).
    2. Set the resolution to 2400 dpi.

    5. For Pictures, set Output to Normal (see Figure 4).

    7. Set OPI to include images.
    8. Select Full Resolution TIFF Output.

    Step 4

    1. Click on the Page Setup button at the bottom left. This will bring up the LaserWriter Page Setup (see Figure 5).
    2. Click on PostScript Options to bring up this window.
    3. Turn all of the options Off.
    4. Click OK.

    Step 5

    1. Click on the Printer button at the bottom left. This will bring up the menu that will allow you to change the destination from Printer to File (see Figure 6).
    2. Set Destination to File.
    3. The Format should be PostScript Job, ASCII and Level 2 and 3 Compatible.
    4. Set Font Inclusion to All.
    5. When you click Save it will prompt you for a file name and location to save the file.
