Duotone with a Spotplate...???

[gstarnyc]

Not sure if this belongs here or in Indesign. Having trouble with this one. I've done cmyk with spot plate jobs in photoshop saving the file as a DCS 1.0 file type which gives me a file with an eps extension that I can place into InDesign for color seperation purposes. When I check the color seperation in InDesign, both cmyk and spot plates show up.

Now I need to make a Duotone with a spot plate. In Indesign I should see three pms colors on my color seps palette. When I try to make a duotone and use a spot plate, the DSC option does not come up. I can only save as Photoshop, eps, large document format, pdf, photoshop 2 and raw. None of these files when imported into Indesign give me the spot plate in Indesign.

Does anyone know how to make a duotone with a spot channel and save it in a format that will work with InDesign???

It needs to be CMYK + Spot for DCS option to work and I would save it as a DCS 2 but if you have a duotone you should be able to save as an EPS and it should rip fine.
