• 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.

• 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!

• 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.

• Spot colors are converted!

  Spot colors are converted to RGB or CMYK when download you them on the kuler website.

  Kuler does not support spot colors at this time, so there is no way to keep them when you download a theme built with spot colors.

• Is it possible to know if transparency (multiply / darken etc.) has been used in any part of the file select all objects?

  I recently had problems with Illustrator files with objects and text.

  These elements consist of spot colors and have effects, such as multiply, obscure or Luminisity applied to them.

  Our current workflow requires us to save the only 1 file .ai to PDF which must pass through a TEAR, then accelerated for printing by other software.

  Version staircase to the top of the file is sent to me, opened and edited in Illustrator and then re-recorded in PDF format to send to a print finisher (varnish or sheet, for example)

  It is at this point that some items were not displayed correctly or at all.

  I know that sounds complicated process (and is!)... but is it possible to work around this issue?

  Thank you

  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.

• 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

  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.
