S
ome EPS and PDF files can contain elements that use different color spaces. For
example, a PDF or EPS file might contain a picture that uses the RGB color space
and a color that uses the CMYK color space. To allow QuarkXPress to manage these
various elements appropriately, using the specified output setup, in subsequently
imported EPS and PDF pictures, check Color Manage Vector EPS/PDF.

imported in the active project, check Include Existing Vector EPS/PDF in Layout.
Working with source setups and output setups from a color expert
If a color expert creates custom source setups and output setups specific to your
workflow — or even specific to individual jobs or clients — you can easily employ
those setups through preferences, view options, output settings, and Job Jackets. For
example, a service bureau or printer may provide setups for you that help ensure
appropriate output for their equipment.
Appending source setups
If source setups are created for a project you work on, you can append those source
setups to other projects. Use the Append button in the Source Setups dialog box
(Edit > Color Setups > Source) to navigate to and select a source setup.
Importing output setups
If output setups are created for you, import them through the Output Setups dialog
box (Edit > Color Setups > Output). Use the Import button to navigate to and
select the output setup files.
Selecting source setups and output setups
To use custom source setups and output setups, you choose them from various color
management menus as follows:
Color sources: To use a custom source setup, choose it from the Source Setup•
drop-down menu in the Color Manager pane of the Preferences dialog box
(QuarkXPress/Edit menu) for the layout.
Color display: To use a custom output setup for proofing, choose it from the•
Proof Output submenu of the View menu.
Color output: To use a custom output setup for printing or other types of output,•
choose it from the Setup drop-down menu in the Colors pane of the Print
dialog box (File > Print > Export as PDF/EPS).
Working with source and output setups in Job Jackets
When you create a project from a Job Jackets file, the appropriate source setups and
output setups are included and selected for you. You can still import, append, and
create additional setups, and select those setups for display and output.
