Spot color mixed CMYK?

• Recolor art - how to preserve the spot color in shades and nuances?

  Hello, working in CS6, OS 10.6.8. I am working on a CD printing label 3 color screen and the colors will be a white background, more black and PMS color. I was recoloring CMYK illustrations to use in design and really liked the results to redefine (by selecting only black and spot color), until I noticed that when I selected "shades and nuances" he converted in all black in this process (I know that said adobe is why you should not select this option).

  But my question is, how can I achieve the same effect (that is, using tints of the spot color 'mixed' black) without having to convert the nuances to treat? I'm sure it's Super, but I am struck a big hole in my knowledge.

  Thanks for your help!

  Thanks to each of you for your answers. Emil method works for shades, but not shades (i.e. the spot + shades of black) because the steps between the two are converted to process.

  I figured out how to do it manually - just copied the art into a new layer, recolored filling of overprinting of version on the layer with highlights only (that of the spot color, one in black), then applied and adjusted manually until you get the desired effect. Perhaps the next version it will be a way to make all this redefine colors.

• 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.

  

• 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).

  Yes, save the selection as an alpha channel, which can then be loaded at any time! Since the Panel layers, click Save icon channel:

  

  Registered channels can be loaded as order parts by clicking on the channel or by selection of the load:

  

• You can convert CMYK values in corresponding PMS spot color?

  Our printing process requires us to print using spot colors. We often get some work

  with colors in CMYK values. CS4 allows you somehow convert this CMYK color of the

  PMS spot color correspondents. Or should we look for a plug-in? Any ideas would be most

  appreciated. Use us Pantone solid to process guide but would like something a lot faster.

  Us they ask customers to provide graphics in a spot color but as the train of the world. Thank you.

• 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

• 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.

• Spot color

  I replaced a green in a CMYK with Pantone 354U image, and although the resulting color is correct he always appears as a CMYK color and not the task of color I want. Is this possible?

  In order to use spot colors, you need to change or add a channel that would use that color and then fill this information channel to indicate the amount and intensity of the use of this spot color black, white and gray.

  When you say replaced you the Green (K) CMYB with a Pantone, looks like you selected green color in your image (that would result from a mix of values on channels, given that no green channel) and then replaced by the selected Pantone, you did not not using channels, which means that you actually replaced it with a color of CMYK equivolent not a spot color.

• 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.

• 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.

  

  At the same appearance with CMYK, showing that Nothing's going to CMYK.

• 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?

• 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.
