Creation of production files with spot color layered screens

I'm the task of recreating a job 2 colors (cyan and magenta) , after a thorough inspection of the printed sample submitted with a magnifying glass, magnifying glass, I see a certain part is dark purple as the cyan and magenta used on-site are layered in this area.

How should I design the production folder so that it is clear that the 2 plates that will be created from said file will result in plates, which have screens of the dowry of two colors in one place so that when it is used the press to produce the purple shadow combined?

Thank you

With cyan and magenta, only it isn't a problem. Sure just your design contains no black or yellow. Use the panels of color and color chart to produce and store mixtures of cyan and magenta to color your design elements.

But in your title, you say 'spot color screens' which is a little more complex because Illie stores not mixtures of spot colors in the color chart.

So you will have to work with overprints and saw the overlay turned on while you are working.

The other possibility is to work in false color, using magenta saying for red and cyan for blue spot.

Nothing prevents you to work this way and I did occasionally, but you will need to carefully explain what you do to your printer, and is not a bad idea to add a color legend to your work to make sure that your false color is printed in tones right.

  • Problem exporting file with spot colors in color in pdf format

    I have a book that I designed in InDesign CS3. It has 150 images in there, which are Photoshop eps files: line drawings with a filling of black tones. InCS3, when I need to send files back to the Publisher, the eps files came out fine in any pdf that I did. Now in CS5.5, no matter what I do, only the task of color appears in the images - their black outlines will not be displayed. I'm sure it has something to do with the settings of a certain type, but I can't figure it out for the life of me. Help!

  • Problems with Spot color gradients

    Hi all

    I have little experience in dealing with spot colors.  I'm trying to mix two colors of accompaniment for a print job.  Unfortunately the spot color gradient (left image) do not mix like the gradient color of the process (right image).  On the contrary, they will fade to a lighter color in the Center where they meet.  I'm sure that someone out there can help you because I think that is more of a technical problem that I'm just not familiar with.  Thanks in advance to all comments!

    Hi Hugh...

    The difference between two images, is the color range, mode CMYK is larger than the spot colors, this cause an incompatibility of mixture. If you want a better overview of your spot color on preview test print on the view menu, but don't forget that the reference of the right color is Pantone color card.

  • 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.

  • export pdf with spot color

    Hi, Im having trouble exporting a PDF with a spot color of ID. What part of my logo once thicker shows its exported. I can place in the work of same exact but using a CMYK color and thick form does not show. Anyone know why this is happening? IM placing an AI. file.

    I am not convinced that has nothing to do with the presence of a spot color. Assuming that you view the PDF file in Acrobat or Reader, take a look at your Page display preferences in the rendering. If "Enhance thin lines" is checked, uncheck and see if it makes stronger, go.

  • Is it possible to have an iPhone all nine 6s with spots on the screen changed?

    Hello

    I bought an iPhone 6s a few days ago, of the Finland via a wireless carrier (Elisa). Right after I remove the screen protector, I realized there are a few spots on the screen that would return a moment after them wiping. Next day I took the phone to the operator and asked them if they could replace it because I had just bought it. (I did not ask a refund.)

    The clerk denied the right for my defective phone replacement and instead offered to send it to the service center to fix it. I insisted on the fact that in the interest of customer satisfaction, the devices usually receive a certain time to return where they do not meet expectations. The clerk said there was no other way, but having repaired. I wasn't happy, but since there is no other solution I had to restore my phone after two days of buying it.

    Now, given that I bought from an operator and not an Apple store, I wanted to make sure the conditions of Apple in these cases. I find it very unlikely that Apple services do not immediately replace a defective product when it turns therefore upon purchase.

    Can I do right now to make them replace my phone instead of repair?

    Thank you.

    Hello

    You should get a replacement iPhone, but that they must check first for any liquid.

    In the meantime use SIM card in another phone if you have one.

    It will take a few days to sort out.

    See you soon

  • Images cut during the creation of a file with kindlegen since inDesign epub mobi

    I'm having trouble with a project recomposable ebook that includes the line drawing illustrations. They are mainly good fixed everything from size to 600px wide (all levels of grayscale gif less than 127 k) and exporting object options CSS export value: compared to the text stream. When they fall in the middle of the text on a page, they look great, most is in landscape format, larger they are great. However, once they are exported if they fall at the bottom of the page, they disappear right out of the page, in some cases, take you just a tiny glimpse of the upper part and the rest is gone, it does not appear on the next page. I tried a variety of export combinations include breaks page before, after and before and after and it's simply not making a difference.

    I use Indesign CC (2014) on a mac and then open it up with Kindle kindlegen previewer and let it convert a .mobi. If I open the epub with digital editions the same thing occurs. It is a file of mobi I need at the end of the process. It seems to happen some device I use to emulate the Preview on Kindle previewer and illustrations may appear together in a single view, then disappear on another, depending on how it is reinvesting. I also sent to my kindle and it's definitely cut the images on it.

    Is there anyway I can ensure the whole image appears, I thought I'd add a page break before would, but this doesn't seem to be working I would still live with variances of bad guys who would give me. I have applied paragraph styles, object styles, and looked at the export options, wondering if I have a mess here somehow - what is priority?

    I would do this in inDesign, I looked at the code in sigil and can only say that the images are always coded, do not know how they should read.

    Any help with this would be awesome I'm going round and round now!

  • Spot color CMYK implemented using linked in Illustrator from Photoshop

    I need to use a black spot on some packaging. The black spot will be a sticker on the top a picture of the product that is made in Photoshop. I created the packaging in Illustrator and you need to import this file, but it must have the intact spot color. So far, I created a PSD with a spot channel, I thought was the answer but Illustrator can't read PSD files with spot channels. Then I taped an earnings per share, but when I import an EPS it shows a white rectangle as opposed to the real work.

    Can someone help me with this? Thank you!!

    Ok. To the CS5 version you must register a DCS 2.0

    Your thread earlier today deals with the question of the layers, the JPEG file format is not supported. If you want to save the file with layers, save as PSD. To load the referenced site, save the file in JPEG format as well. After you have downloaded, remove the JPEG file if you are short of space.

    Go to Image > mode and make sure the RGB color is checked. When you go to file > save as, in JPEG, the ICC profile is sRGB IE C61966 - 2.1 (on my current test file).

  • Color variation when you import a PDF file with transparency masks

    Hi, I have a CC PDF Illustrator with multiple pages and multiple spot colors defined by the user and on some pages of an element containing the mask transparency.

    The problem with color deviation between the pages with and without the object that contains the tx masks as they are imported into InDesign.

    Looking at the page in InDesign with the described object, color chart, imported from Illustrator no longer correspond to any PDF file.

    Without the mask tx, correspond to the Illustrator PDF color chart color placed in the shade in InDesign.

    What is going on?

    Unlike Illustrator, InDesign can support RGB and CMYK colors in the same document. If InDesign won't change the colors of your Illustrator object placed as long as there is no transparency on the spread.

    When transparency is applied to the spread, all objects have to 'mix' by using the same color space. I think that this is necessary if the transparency must be flattened as it should be for many printers. InDesign uses the color set under Edition space > space of merger of transparency to determine the color space. By default, it is a print CMYK document.

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

    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).
