I've noticed since I upgraded to PS/M 8.1 (from 7, which did not exhibit this problem) that when I RIP any InDesign PostScript files that contain spot colors, the Opacity setting for the spot colors is frequently wrong. I am referring to the Opacity setting that it uses to determine frames, not a transparency setting.
When I go under Specific Info to set up the spot colors, the Opacity of the spots are very high, like 1.5 or more and should be well below 1.00. I can change them there, but it gets old real fast to do that on job after job when I never had to do it on the old version.
Also, on some PDF jobs I've noticed that the PS/M will have the incorrect color build for some spot colors. I can fix it by saving the Color Table, then opening the Color Table and editing the build, then using that edited color table.
Anyone else noticed these issues? I don't expect a solution because they are not continuing to update this RIP software, but I'm just curious if others have the same problem. My Brisque 4 does not exhibit these issues, nor did my previous version PS/M 7. This is very frustrating because I believe that upgrades should work better and more reliably than their previous versions.
