Here is an odd one, I have a script that I use to make Quark 6.5 PDF through distiller. It works great, but it wa just brought to my attention from my new printer that my registration marks are showing up as RGB. I know its not a big deal since they don’t print, but it is giving an error through there RIP system. So I checked my PDF using Pitstop and sure enough all PDf made using the script have RGB registration marks, I make a PDF manually with the same file and the marks are CMYK. Can’t figure this one out. Anybody else had this same problem or am I just missing something. Thanks in advance for any help.
Here is the script I’m using…
