They are not doing it correctly. They should not be importing the file into PosterWorks. They should be sending it directly to Smart Color, which I assume is some software-based PostScript interpreter. Importing the PS file into PosterWorks will definitely cause problems. You cannot import a PostScript file that has been printed to disk into another DTP program for printing. EPS files are meant for that, but I don't recommend that option for what you're doing. He should just be sending the PostScript file to his PostScript interpreter directly. I recommend him reading his Smart Color manual and finding out how to deal with PostScript files, which should be a very basic function. I'll need to know which version of PageStream you are using and the exact model of the printer before I can recommend which driver options you should use. PageStream2 and 3 work very differently in this regard, and I don't know anything about his printer. Cheers, Michael – Soft-Logik Publishing
