Color printing Issue

[swhittaker]

Try editing the color on your color palette to be named the proper CMYK
values and then print it from Creator 8.0.

We had the same problem when we went from Creator 7 to Creator 8.  We found
that it was actually the way that the colors were named.  When creating a
new color, artists have a tendency to simply leave the colors named New
Color 1, New Color 2, New Color 3, 0r just light blue.  We had one ad that
the color was a midnight blue, but kept printing a very light violet.  We
recreated all of the colors, but had the same result.  When we printed the
ad from Creator 7, it would print a midnight blue, when printed from Creator
8 it would print as a light violet.  We then change the color to its proper
CMYK values (A901) and printed the ad, it printed from Creator 7 and Creator
8 properly.  We found that the New Color 1 on our color palette, for some
reason was picking up the values of the last New Color 1 that went through
the rip. We have now started naming newly created color using their proper
CMYK values.  We haven't had the problem since this past November.  The
colors not printing properly only happened with 2 ads and it was random.
But since we started naming the colors using CMYK values and using a unique
name, we haven't had the problem.
