When I place and Illustrater eps file into QuarkXPress 4.11, sometimes the spot color does not transfer.
What is going on?

What version Illustrator files are you placing in your quark doc?
(You could just add the color manually in Quark, but I understand if you don't want to do this all the time!)
Found this blurb here about Quark and placed Illustrator files:
http://www.foremostgraphics.com/tips.html
"Illustrator files:
Placing different versions of Illustrator files in your page layout applications such as Quark or Pagemaker can cause printing problems. Illustrator 7.0 files seem to produce frequent postscript errors when placed on the same page with other versions of Illustrator files such as 6.0, 5.5 and even 8.0. To avoid problems in outputting your work try to save all Illustrator files used in your layout in the same version."
Let me know if this helps.

We are using Illustrator 10.0.3 and 8.0.
If we manually add the color in Quark 4.1 we end up getting 2 of the same spot colors when we create the PDF. I do believe we are having the problem when we place only one Illustrator file in Quark.
Any thoughts?

You can eliminate any extra spot colors when you make your pdf by deactivating one of the colors.
What exactly are you trying to do in your file where the Illustrator is placed. Do you need to have the pms color there to use with other objects? I need more detail.

For traping issues, it would be nice to have one PMS color that transfers from application to application. Images may be placed into quark and than that spot color may want to be used in the quark file for type, bleed or other things.

When you print to a .ps file you should be able to manage those PMS colors.
