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.

  • problem with the color picker tool

    Hi there we use Fireworks CS3 and seem to have problems with the color picker tool.

    When we hover over a color and select it, we do not get the same color. Sometimes, we choose a blue color and it translates into a green.

    Also when we have a color for example chabouni and reduce the color so something lighter, he returned to the Carter.

    Can anyone suggest what might be the problem.

    This has only started happening recently and nothing major has been installed or removed from Fireworks.

  • 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.

  • 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

    Mathias (master of convolutedly long sentences)

    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 with the colors when printing to PDF in FM9

    Hello

    We have some problems with printing to PDF with FM9 colors.

    FM document files eps (1) with a green box and (2) a rectangle created with the tools chart FM, filled with the same values of color green (91/0/60/44)

    In FrameMaker both colors is really different, but too bad, in the PDF color (eps) and the rectangle obtained the same correct green color.

    OK, him differed in creation, so they were CMYK and RGB, but your printing coming.

    Now in FM 9:

    (1) if I do a "save as PDF" and turn off "convert to CMYK in RGB" resulting PDF is the same from FM8 (correct)

    (2) if I print to PDF via distiller and set job options for "convert all colors to CMYK" resulting rectangle Green is very different from the greenery of the eps.

    I tried different options, the best result was "convert all colors to CMYK", the other options just very more ugly.

    Does anyone of you know a solution to your problem? The help is very appreciated. I could send examples of files if necessary.

    Thanks in advance.

    But we want to use the option to print using the Distiller.

    PIA,

    This sentence needs some explanation, I think. Why you want to use the print option?

    Using the print option,-you're always going the same route that FrameMaker Win has always been, that uses the postscript RGB driver only Windows. Now with FM9, you have the possibility to get CMYK directly to PDF, as defined, without any color conversion. And it * is * works, as long as you limit your documents CMYK or spot from the FM library.

    So, once again: why do you want to use the print option?

    On a sidenote: I do not know if I interpret your username correctly, but if you are able to understand German, you will find some tests deep color manufactured FM9 here: http://www.hilfdirselbst.ch/foren/FM_9_und_Farben_in_PDFs___getestet_P387800.html

  • OfficeJet 5470 e-all-in-one: Subscriber instant - problem with #62 color cartridge - Cyan Ink only

    I just installed a new color cartridge and our copies look right.

    I aligned the printer and then cleaned them (the two cleanings) and Print quality Diagnostic report shows nothing in the column "Cyan".

  • Color laserjet 4600 - problem with one color (yellow) for the most part does not print

    Colors look purpleish when printing photos.  It turns out that this is a problem with yellow print.

    We tried to replace the yellow toner cartridge, and it was not fixed.

    PQ troubleshooting, the yellow page is empty except for a thin (16th of an inch) to 99% a horizontal line at the top of the page.

    In the configuration page, all the different areas that should have the yellow are mostly empty, with the exception of the same sort of thin horizontal line at the top of each of these areas.  After updating the firmware from 03.001.0 to 03.016.0: in addition to what is described on the configuration page, some of the fields in the configuration page that should be yellow, have a pale magenta and more this yellow line.

    Our technician came several times and has so far tried to replace the hvps, scanner laser, toner alignment and trainer kit Board.  Nothing has improved the question.  Then for the replacement is the regulator dc ($1000).

    Anyone here have an opinion on what could cause this problem?  It seems they are just throwing parts at home and we're about to tell them to give up.

    It wasn't the dc controller.  I figured out well out - somehow, there was a spring missing behind one of the speeds in the train of drum roll.

  • Problem with the color when exporting to other Adobe programs

    Hello

    When I uses 32 bits per layer in my After Effects to get the really nice glow effect and make everything look OK, but when I use the Dynamic Link for Premiere Pro and then try to make my sequence with Media Encoder deferential eye colors inside After Effects.

    Is there a problem with 32-bpc and dynamic link, or I do something wrong?

    Editing programs do not operate in 32bpc, even if PR calculates the effects in 32 bits. This has to do with the range and models of different colors. Usually 32bpc also requires correct color calibration and conversion via LUTs or profiles from your computer screen is not initially 32bpc. This being the case and to avoid the problems of conflicting settings and hardware acceleration (which is also used for color management), in such situations, it is better to make the file and import it in first. Otherwise, you have work major reading and configuration to do.

  • 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.

  • Problem with editing colors in Illustrator CC2015

    Hello

    I'm having a problem when I try to use the function "change colors" in Adobe Illustrator CC2015.  I selects a section/items to be recolored, select "Edit colors > Recolor art" in the "Edit" menu

    When the 'Redefine' window, Illustrator automatically recolors the selected items without my choose what colors I want to change, or what color I would what they changed. It seems that illustrator applies the swatch/colors of something I last selected.

    This makes it impossible to change the colors. I have never had this problem with Illustrator before, looks like when everything started when I upgraded to CC2015.

    I hope that the screenshots below will help you to show my problem.

    This is the work I'm going to select to recolor:

    Screen Shot 2015-08-11 at 4.26.05 PM.png

    Then, this is done AUTOMATICALLY as soon as I select edit colors - illustrator applies colors in my work without my said to do:

    Screen Shot 2015-08-11 at 4.26.17 PM.png

    Or, if I had just done a red rectangle, Illustrator automatically apply red in the pane to change colors:

    Screen Shot 2015-08-11 at 4.26.44 PM.png

    If anyone has AN idea of what's going on, please help - I tried to understand what is wrong for weeks.

    This is a bug and it is being investigated. As for now, you can click the eyedropper icon in the Recolorier Art dialog box to reset the graph.

  • 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.
