Two things that I forgot to mention: 1.) Use postscript, not encapsulated postscript. There shouldn't be any difference, but it's better to remove any possibility of error. (print to file using postscript) 2.) I'm getting a spot color (SpotRich_Black) in my PS outputs. Looks to be Rich Black. See below. And now a third point: 3.) I tried printing separations, and I got interesting results. The black separation shows everything pure black, except the RGB black image, which is rather lighter than the rest (to be expected). The cyan separation only shows the RGB black and the stroke around Total Black. The magenta and yellow separations both show the same as the cyan, though the magenta separation of the RGB image is lighter than the cyan separation, and the yellow is much lighter than all of them. The stroke around the total black appears to remain the same intensity. As to the spot color, it is only present in the stroke around the Rich Black box. It is not visible in any of the separations, even if I turn on convert spot colors to process colors. -- | Andrew A.
