Spot colors are converted!

• 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.

• Preserve spot colors when you import the InDesign file into another InDesign file

  Work in InDesign CC.

  I often import InDesign files into other InDesign files and find it very useful for my workflow. Often it is a file that acts like a piece of the library that is used in the other files and I love being able to just change it and automatically update the other files.

  However I just came up with a work that is CMYK + spot and spot colors are not preserved import - they seem to import as CMYK. Can I export a PDF file and do it this way, but I prefer to skip the intermediate step.

  Any advice?

  Have you checked? It really looks like that process tasks is enabled in the file of reception, but I expect that to affect the PDF as well.

  I tested on CS6 and it works correctly, but I have on thei smachine CC, and no time this morning to start it, then maybe someone else will test for you to see if they get the same results.

• PANTONE + does not match the previous Pantone spot color chart. I have several customers who are using spot colors in logos etc and now these colors are a mess. Can I get and use the old color for Illustrator books?

  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.

  Here is some info:

• 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.

• 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.

  Select the elements to recolor

  Edit > edit colors > redefine > follow my screenshots

  

  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.

  

• Library spot colors?

  Hello

  When you use the libraries in Illustrator CC 2014 (version 1.1) Panel, whenever I click on 'Add the fill color' when using a spot for example color Pantone 2756C appears in the color library 60 # 262 and, when used in a document is converted in the process (C - 100_ %, M-92.77%, Y - 32_ %, K-17.15%).

  Is it possible to keep it as a spot color when adding to the CC library?

  Any help would be appreciated.

  

  Thank you

  Currently, no tones are working in the library.

• 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.

• Swatches Panel > add colors used - converts all MP to treat!

  Why, oh why doesn't Illustrator do that - when a file audit and determine what colors havbe served, clear the swatches Panel and then hit 'Add used colors' are a wonderful way to get a peek at all the colors used in an file - BUT - forget it if you use PMS (which I do), because all the PMS to convert to the process Oops!

  Can't understand why this happens. A useful function otherwise is made much less usable.

  Sadness.

  What do you expect when you delete a spot color that is in use?

• 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.

• 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.

  

  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?

• 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.
