I used illustrator and imported the file into photoshop. I've attached a .pdf version of the photoshop document.

The other question: i am currently saving a tif in photoshop, placing it in corel, converting to greyscale bitmap, printing to device ind ps driver, opening prn file in gsview, printing to the R1800 for my positive. This in order to achieve halftones without a RIP.
Will those transfer values remain on their way to corel and beyond?
or
could i print to a "postscript driver" from photoshop cs3, and bring that ps file directly into GSview?/quote]
For the sake of this exercise, you will be taking option 2. You will be calibrating photoshop to print. To the best of my knowledge, photoshop requires the use of a postscript printer in order to use a transfer function. (i know it used to require postscript). In the short run, you will need to bring your corel files into photoshop to take advantage of the transfer function.
In the long run, postscript allows for transfer functions to be embeded in the postscript .pdf file. Inside a .pdf, the transfer function can be used by any program.
Since i often need to create a white underbase for the process color, i typically create these underbase's in photoshop, so to me there is not downside to bringing the file though photoshop.
