Do we REALLY want an Adobe monopoly? - richard155

Transparency had been the biggest problem in pre-press for the last 5 years. Adobe creates design level applications (Illustrator and InDesign) that their RIPs can not handle. Native PSD and AI import ability is great, but until recently the majority of RIPs could not handle those features.

Where I work, most of the files submitted have very few problems, however, I have twice as many problem ID files as I do QXP files, and we still see more QXP files than ID, although that is changing.

We need both programs. Instead of just comparing them they should each be judged on their own merits.

My transparencies are just fine...

PDFX-1a baby... flat, RIP-friendly, format straight from Indesign and I can use all the transparent psd and ai files I want. Get with the times man. Your point is moot.
