  I use Recolor work because I can't merge into K. The art comes our customers K so we cannot conceive just differently.

  Edit: for clairification. The rectangles on the right are tones of k and k. Rectangles on the left are results after its conversion to a spot color with illustrations to redefine colors. I'm honestly not married to the idea of using Recolor art. I just need a way to move with precision k tones to a place.

• Unique spot color grayscale image conversion

  Hello.
  
  I'm trying to convert a grayscale image in a single spot color image. The spot color is PMS425C, color gray, but as I'm only printing 2 colours I need to convert these images in one spot color.
  
  Can someone please help?
  
  Thank you

  Have you seen the monotonous separated to CMYK?  If so, you can not make the PDF correctly and the place is being converted. It can still have CMYK channels, but they are empty and will not end plates.  Check your output to PDF settings and check the ink Manager that the tasks are retained.  In addition, there are more than one way to display preview of the output that can be confusing at first.

  You export as PDF X / 1a and if your settings are correct, when you view in output preview (separations) in Acrobat, you should see the spot as a task.

  Try to save your monotonous as .psd too many other formats will support the monotonous.  If you view separations in ID, you will be able to see if your file supported by spot color.

• Find the spot colors in the document

  I prepare a document for printing, and when I go to the package for output I get a message that there are a handful of spot colors in addition to the CMYK. Is it possible I can get InDesign to show me where in my document these tones are? (There are many graphics placed in many pages) I can't seem to find a 'show' or 'page number' for these colors. In addition, if the CMYK symbol appears to the right of the point of color in the Panel swatched, am I good as went to press?

  Maybe the satest to see where the spot colors are in use is to open the Activ separations and separations Preview Panel, and then click the eyeball next to CMYK. Everything left on the page is your direct. If you do not see a spot color in the Panel, there are none in use.

  You asked if it was safe to go to print with stains, and the answer is that it depends. Are paying you extra for the spot colors? If this isn't the case, Swatches Panel flyout menu choose Manager of inks, then check the box to convert all Spots to process and for the best conversion to any known color space, check the box to use the Lab values as well. Don't know what you mean by seeing the CMYK symbol to the right of the swatch - which means that it is not RGB, but there are two small icons there and the one on the left will tell you if the color is spot on, but neither one will tell you if it is transposed to the process in the ink Manager.

• What is the difference between the PANTONE and spot colors

  I need help understanding a concept. In Illustrator, when I double click a nuance I get shade options. In this example, let's say it's one of the default witnesses. When I change the type of color in "Tones" and click OK, I've created a spot color, Yes? Nuance now has the white border with the triangle in the corner indicating. When I send to a printer they tell me that they need a pantone. I was under the impression that a printer would ink custom of my place and that would be printed as a color. Isn't this true? If spot colors must be Pantone, why the color type drop-down open PANTONE books?

  Can someone please explain what a spot color in Illustrator?

  Thank you

  You cannot arbitrarily mix most of the inks in the real world, and so any custom mix formula is mostly meaningless. It is largely the point here.

  (a) it is much easier for main stores order just the premixed colors

  (b) if they mix custom colors, they still need to use specific base inks which are not only CMYK, since there is no way to obtain certain colors in other

  (c) only using correct formulae can ensure the appropriate density / saturation / brightness

  (d) you need to check against a reference color book / strip

  (e) simple chemical and physical factors prevent some mixes of color work

  This might be explained away constantly, but suffice it to say that, in all my years, I have not met a single printing could have mixed colors custom outside Pantone or here in Germany HKS and other systems. Not to say that it is impossible for some colors, but nobody does anymore.

• using transparency multiply with spot colors

  Does anyone know if spot colors can be used with transparency are multiplying in illustrator CC. I want to create a third color of pieces that overlap / two forms of spot color printing?

  Not agree with John, you just have to watch you preview separations to get your answer. Here the 7691 dark blue gradient is on multiply on 7688 blue light, so we get more degraded rich e, rather than the color is dull where the 2 colors meet.

• Cannot delete unused spot colors.

  I can't delete some nuances of unused spot colors in Illustrator. I can also convert them to CMYK process. When I try to remove the color, the trash is grayed out.

  You have all placed files or raster files, which could use the tones? What happens if you try to select all unused from the Swatch Panel flyout?

  Well, the spot color has not changed, but the way they were simulated four-color changed, they now use color management to get to the nearest ink possible task.

• If an illustrator file has links with spot colors, how can I create PDF files with process colors?

  My file has shades of tones that came with the linked logo, I could not find a way to convert those shades of colors quadri.

  I need to send PDF on a printer with only process colors, I know that the printer can choose to convert spot colors to process when printing with printer within Acrobat Panel, but since we do not print, we need to send files to print ready with process colors only.

  Is there a way or a script to make PDF file generated from Illustrator with process colors only?

  You could try object > flatten transparency and clear colors to preserve overprints and Spot.

  I set the preset high resolution and turn on the preview to see if something dramatic is going to happen.

  After that, you can check the file of color dot in the separations Preview Panel.

• Acrobat DC does not display of spot colors

  Mac OS 10.10

  I have an InDesign CS5 document with a spot color background.

  When I export to PDF (PDF/X1a) and open the file in Acrobat DC, there is no background color (preview separations shows there is a spot color in the document, but does not display all of the ink of that color)

  If I open the PDF in Acrobat 9 or X, the background color is displayed correctly.

  Is there a setting in Acrobat DC I don't know? Do I have to use a different export setting (I tried several unsuccessful).

  Thank you!

• How can I get a CMYK or Gray scale halftone and replace it with a spot color with the same value of midtones?

  Is it possible that I can select an object or objects that have a value of mixed CMYK or Grayscale, and then select a Spot color and it will keep the same value of midtones as before?

  For example, I have an object that is C: 0 M: 0 Y: 0 k: 20 and I select Reflex Blue. What is happening is it change my object to 100% Reflex Blue. Is there a way to change to automaitically Reflex Blue 20%?

  Another example, I have 3 objects, one is 20 k: the second is 40 k: and the third is KC: 85. I want to select all the objects in three at the same time, select Yellow PANTONE and get them to change yellow PANTONE 20, 40 yellow PANTONE and PANTONE yellow 85.

  Is there a way to do it or I will always have to manually edit each element?

  Thanks for the help.

  I love clicking this button under the entitlement, one place for everything that you color reduction settings.

  

  Use tinted scale. Exact will give you 100% of the color. The exact word is confusing here, this means that the color of the destination (100% of everything that the color you choose), not a version tinged scale.

  

  Unfortunately I do not know how to get the exact values of blacks to convert the exact values of spot color. Scale of hues will you get you get you close enough for what you need. In my example that a black 89% converts a 84% of the place, so no exact but alteast I have a range of shades, and sometimes the results are better than accurate, depends on your art.

  Here are my before and after.

  

• Opacity value of value of hue change spot color

  Does anyone know a script to change all spot color objects that have an opacity value of the corresponding value of the color of the spot color? Could also be to treat the colors, global or not - but the key is to work.

  
  

  If an object uses a spot color that is to say 13% opacity, then it must be on opacity 100% and the value of 13% spot color tint. If an object has been 75% opacity, then it must be set to the hue of 75% to 100% opacity etc. Throughout the tonal range for all objects.

  
  

  It would be nice if the blending mode of the spot color has been set to normal if it was something else (obscure, product etc.). I guess it would be great if there was an option to set the object for a collection if the blending mode used was darken or multiply, but this is the icing on the cake. Essence is the opacity value of spot object of the value of spot color mapping and setting the opacity to 100%.
  

  
  

  I would have thought it would be a problem quite common in packaging prepress, however I had no success in the search for such a script.

  Here's a more complete script.

• Spot color vs. .eps art CMYK .eps file

  Asked me to provide 1) a file .eps tones and art 2) CMYK .eps to our company logo. I have an eps file, but beyond that can help me understand what changes I have to do for it to meet the requirements? Thank you in advance.

  Clyde,

  In my opinion, they say you should do a version with the spot color Pantone colors probably chosen company and a version with the closest CMYK equivalent.

  But you can ask them while you ask why they want an EPS rather than the PDF or HAVE. EPS is a bit outdated (for most applications except those where it is formally required for the target application, or something).
