Printing process requires that I use a spot color for black. Recolor work percentages changes.

Illustrator CS6 (other users on 5)

I need go of tones of K and K to a task of color and tones of a spot color.

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.

Here you go, the script targets only the PathItems with the default black CMYK [0,0,0, value], locked or hidden objects will be ignored, as well as objects in locked or hidden layers.

// script.name = cmykBlackToSpotBlack.jsx;
// script.description = changes art color from standard CMYK Black to an EXISTING Spot swatch named "spot black";
// script.requirements = an opened document;
// script.parent = CarlosCanto // 08/07/13;
// script.elegant = false;

    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.

  • I can't use the right colors for a web image.

    I can't use the right colors for a web image. CC of Photoshop can replace colors because my colors are 'out of space color to print"or something like that (I hope I translated it well - I work with the Dutch version PS and this forum is English only).

    I'm not interested in printing at all. I don't want an adaptation for printing! I want just the right color to the screen for a web image.

    I changed the settings to color several times, I created my image all over again, but Photoshop maintains replace my bright red to pale pink because of color printing.

    Thanks for your help.

    Use the SRGB color space. and in the color picker when you see the warning do not click the caveat that it solves the problem. Like that will change the color that you want to use.

  • My question is on networkbase that I use ser pack 3 for windows xp

    HelloW guys.

    My PC is in lan sometimes my PC suddenly switched off because of power cut problem. and when I start my PC it takes 15 to 20 minutes for loans to labour. All parameters is available that the PC boots normally within 15 seconds or a little more

    More details always helps.

    My best guess is that there is network at startup delays as it tries to reconnect to the devices on the network.  Try disconnecting your network cable from your computer when you start.  When your computer has completed startup, try to reconnect your network.  See if this speeds up things a bit.  It eliminates the network during the boot process delays.

  • try to get a sound out of my plasma tv that I use as a monitor for my computer.

    Hi, I'm trying to get a sound from my TV to my computer because I use my TV to my monitor. I was wondering if there is a setting that I have to go to which is on my computer. Can someone help me please?

    Hi Annamae09,

    Cables VGA, DVI and component video don't support audio signals. However, HDMI cables are supported, but not all, audio signals compatible HDMI video audio support cards. If your TV has an audio input, you might be able to connect an audio cable separate from their computer directly to the TV card. Otherwise, you need to connect the audio signal to a different device, such as external speakers or your stereo. For more information about sound cards, see sound cards: frequently asked questions.

    Looks like you may want to consider the device instead of the individual licenses licenses.

    With this type of license, you purchase licenses for each computer, instead of each user.

  • I have just noticed that the function drop and drag for attachments stopped working in Yahoo and Gmail. Is it because of Firefox?

    I am currently using Firefox 19. Last week, I found that, in the Yahoo and Gmail, I can't attach files using drag and drop; I used no drag and drop for a little while if I can't say that it began with a particular Firefox update. Unlike some FF16 users I have no problem dragging autour tabs in the browser. I know that in the past, certain issues with attachments were obviously related to the browser and so the reason why I consider that this link now. I use Windows XP SP3.

    Tylerdowner, hi.

    Thanks for your reply, but remembering the cause of a problem attach previous many Firefox users had at the time of FF13 related to implementation network.http.spdy.enabled to 'true' I decided to check again in this parameter: config.

    To solve my problem at the time I, like others, changed the setting SPDY of the "true" to "false", and what I found was not changed automatically with the latest versions of FF. I found, however, that there are now two other parameters SPDY v2 and v3, which were set to 'true '. In case they were in conflict with the first setting to "false", I changed this last to 'true' also. This is I went back to Gmail and tried to attach files, first under the normal procedure by clicking the attachments and selection of a file in the dialog box, which worked (previously on 'true' it had not worked); Second, I tried to fix with the help of drag / drop, now works. I also found that drag & drop in Yahoo also work.

    Thus, a conflict between the SPDY versions could have the cause of the problem when network.http.spdy.enabled has been set to 'false '?

    If the problem persists I'll let you know. (I've attached a snapshot of the current settings).

  • Using the background color for color change

    Goal: make type-dependent color on color background to maximize readability (maximize the contrast).

    that is where the background is white type must be black and vice versa.

  • I have the MG8220 printer and you want to print on a DVD disc using the top of the desktop software

    In the past, I have been using a desktop software to produce graphics and then print labels in paper. Using a model of a disk. Works very well with my printer ip4600.  Now with the MG8220 printer capable of printing on discs, how can I do this without copying an existing labeled disc?  I don't want to copy a disc but rather to print on a disc using a graph of ready scaled to fit on a disc.

    Thanks for any help.

    Hi excolprof,

    We only support printing to disc with Easy Photo Print software and my garden of Image provided.  We encourage you to try to use third-party programs, but as they are not supported, the only steps I can recommend would be to ensure that the paper size is set to CD disc within the software.
