Hi we recently bought a Konica Minolta 8650DN printer and we would like to be able to apply a colour workflow to it from Quark 7.

 We have managed this from Indesign CS3 - which we also use - and the proofs look great. All we did was set a document profile (Fogra39) and a printer profile (An icc created for the Konica) in the Indesign CS3 print dialog and the proofs are fine.

 I really dont understand how Quark does the equivalant.  I've tried applying the printer profile as an output CMYK profile and set the placed pictures to be CMYK fogra39 but the laser proofs never seem to change no matter what I do with the profile settings!

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Have you read this? http://support.quark.com/knowledgebase/ViewKBArticle.aspx?kbarticleid=d40722dd-9991-de11-9660-00155d642a02

It might help you.

Thanks for the reply JM. It doesn't really help though. It pretty much goes over what I already know. Am I to assume to output profile should be the printer profile? If so, that's how I have Quark set. Even if I change the output profile the printout from our laser printer looks no different. It's as if I am missing something :(

 Like I said, in Indesign it was a snap.

Thanks in advance.

 Incidently, i've matched my settings to Quark 8 and ran a proof out and it's fine which would suggest it's a Quark 7 problem. Is it a bug? I upgraded to Quark 7.3 and the problem persists. I can't simply swap to Quark 8 as many of our clients only use Quark 7 and downsaving all the time is a pain.

 Any ideas?

 Cheers
