# TJ: Quark Skillzors Needed
First of all, sorry for the threadjack, (gotta love Ivor), second I need a bit of help on Quark.

I wanted to put a kind of shadow on some text, so I duped the copy, offset it, and made it black underneath so just a little bit was showing around the right hand side and bottom. Voila a basic shadow.

However, when it printed, the black came through the red of the top copy, so it looked like a red shadow was top and left.

Any ideas how I can combat this?

# Good point
Unfortunately, the mags are all set in Quark. Switching to Indesign would involve resetting 64 pages before going to the printers at close. :(

Fuck it, I'll just do it in potato shop and tiff it.

# Drop shadow only came in in 7
but you could try this on a free trial.

# Quark answer probably late:
I think it's either your trapping settings or you might have the black in registration instead of 100% black, you'd have to play around with the trapping in preferences.

Hope that helps
