Quark Forums

Hello, we run a relatively simple shop. We recenly upgraded from an old OS9/Quark 4 system to a modern Leopard/Quark 8.1 system. We print store signs on an Epson Stylus Pro 9000 using the Power Rip X ripper. The old system used the same printer and the same brand ripper although an older version. It seems whatever we print on the new version comes out lighter than on the old version. In other words, signes created on the old system print lighter on the new system.  One observation we made is that Pantone 1795 had a 0-94-100-0 CMYK breakdown on the old system, and on the new system it has a 0-96-90-2 CMYK breakdown. This is causing us a great deal of frustration. I went over all the ripper settings with the vendor yesterday and it all looks fine. It is our understanding the the new system uses 'Color Bridge" technology whereas the old one did not. I guess our question is: how do we get the old files to print on the new system the same way they used to?

Many Thanks
