Prepressforums.com - Multi-Ink colours

Kirby · #1 (**permalink**) 05-09-2005, 02:25 AM

Hi,

I've a job in Quark 6.5 which contains multi-ink colours. (Pantone 2405 + 40% Black).
I postscript out of quark and distill to PDF.
When I rip the PDF through trueflow the Multi-Ink colour converts to CMYK.
Has anybody any ideas as to how I can prevent the CMYK split and end up with the Black overprinting the Pantone 2405?

Many many thanks in advance.

Try printing out of Quark using DeviceN.

DeviceN is a way to keep spot colors intack when printing composite.
