      We have got 2 Apple iMacs both running 10.9 and Creative Suite both have colour settings synced via bridge to Euro pre-press 3, when we convert a spot Pantone colour to CMYK we are getting a different colour split to each other, Illustrator and Photoshop are ok it is only Indesign??

      All settings are the same on both Macs, the colour we are testing is Pantone 2607C

       

      On one machine we are getting the following:

      Illustrator: C85.94 M100 Y18.39 K6.59

      Photoshop: C86 M100 Y18 K6

      Indesign: C85.94 M100 Y18.39 K6.59

       

      On one machine we are getting the following:

      Illustrator: C85.94 M100 Y18.39 K6.59

      Photoshop:  C86 M100 Y18 K6

      Indesign: C87.1 M100 Y22.6 K9.96

       

      The only problem is in Indesign!!!

          You say you have Bridge sync'd on both machines.  Have you gone through the InDesign color settings: "Use Black Point Compensation" and "Rendering Intent"?  Also, go through the InDesign Preferences file on the iMac that shows the shift.  "Appearance of Black" may be set to something different than the others.  And, check the display settings to see if something there is out of whack.  Have you run test proofs to see if there are deviates there ( ouput ) that are obvious?
