Color Output From Frame

[Scott White]

Framers
Yes, here is the question yet again -- two parts. Has Framemaker 8  
made any advances in color output for Framemaker pages? Second, has  
anyone discovered any new ways to create color output from Framemaker  
without having the printer giving you the, "these colors are  
rgb, ......"

I'm well aware of printers dislike for framemaker color outputs.  
Eventhough you have your pages setup to output to cmyk, the colors  
show up rgb at the print house. The printer then has to use some  
additional software, at an additional price, to marry the colors to  
the correct plates. Been there done that.

I ask the questions because I have Framemaker 8 and am getting ready  
to do another catalog, four-color job. We traditionally use Frame 7.2  
then take our Frame files, open them up on and older Mac using  
Framemaker 7.0, psotscript, distill, and go down the road.
