Illustrator :: How To Convert CMYK Artwork For Spot Colour Apparel Print

Sep 11, 2013

I'm pretty new to preparing artwork for spot colour printing - it's a hoodie design in this case.
 
I created the artwork in CMYK originally, and have got some of the way towards converting into a 5 colour print job using Recolor Artwork, so I've got it down to 5 swatches.
 
However, the printer is asking for colours separated by layers, which makes sense - I think means knocking everything out so there is no overprinting - is this correct?
 
If so, what is the best approach to take, to avoid unnecessary work, to convert from the current artowrk, with a lot of overlapping artwork, to produce 5 layers each with vector artwork coloured with its own Pantone swatch?

Photoshop :: Mixing A Spot Colour In A CMYK Image

Aug 21, 2009

We would like to experiment mixing a spot colour in a normal CMYK image in order to expand the colour palette. Our problem is the fact that we cannot get Photoshop to show us the actual image once we have added the spot colour.

The spot channel shows as if it is being printed on top of the CMYK colours instead of being mixed with them. This makes it very difficult to judge what adjustments have to be made to the image. Of course, saving the file as a DCS2 and placing it in InDesign shows us what we want, but this is too much jumping back and forth between programmes to be efficient. We are runnnig CS3 on Windows XP Professional.

Illustrator :: Can't Convert Spot Colors To CMYK In Swatches Panel

Sep 17, 2013

I'm having an issue where I can't convert spot colors to CMYK in the swatches panel. Currently to fix I have to copy elements using the spot colors in to a new blank document, then convert them, then paste back into the original document.
 
Also if I try to delete the spot color, it doesn't fully delete the swatch.
 
I'm using Illustrator CC 17.0.0

Lightroom :: Convert And Colour Correct Images In CMYK Mode Before Sending To Printers?

May 21, 2013

I've recently received a small batch of calendars from a local commercial printers.  The colours are OK, but do not match the originals, especially the blue's.  I've had similar problems with greetings cards from a different printer.  The problem appears to be that I supply the original files in the RGB color space, but they print using CMYK.
 
I Raw process using Lightroom 4, with adjustments if necessary being made using Elements 10. To the best of my knowledge neither of these programs have the option of editing or saving in the CMYK color space.  For more accurate colours is my only option to purchase the full version of Photoshop (CS6 or CC), then convert and colour correct my images in CMYK mode before sending to the printers ?.

Photoshop :: Spot Channel Separates As Shade Of Spot Colour

Oct 24, 2005

I have placed a photoshop file in illustrator CS, the file contains a spot channel transparency that I want to print as a pantone plate. When I print separations my spot channel prints as a shade of grey. Several other vector items (generated in illustrator) using the same pantone print as a solid 100% black. I'm worried that my file will print with the transparency part of my pantone as a shade of its self when I send the files to the printer.

Photoshop :: Convert Drop Shadow To Gray Scale Only Within CMYK Image

Apr 23, 2013

I'm using Photoshop CS6. I have a CMYK image of fruit on a white background with a drop shadow that has some cyan, magenta and yellow. The drop shadow is NOT AN EFFECT. It is part of the original photographed image shot against a white background.

I want to turn the drop shadow into a percentage of black only. I have masked the foot so I have the white background and shadow isolated but now I'm not sure the best way to make the shadow a percentage of black only.

Photoshop :: Spot Colors Do Not Hold CMYK Values

Dec 19, 2012

When placing a .psd file with a spot channel into illustrator, and then later copying this and pasting back into Photoshop the color shifts.
 
Original Photoshop spot color channel (0/100/81/16)
Color after pasting back into Photoshop (13/99/88/4)
 
We are making renders of packaging, so the designs are from illustrator. We correct this by removing the Photoshop spot channel and recreating this as a CMYK layer, but looking to avoid this step as we do many many renders. Even with assign color profile set to none this happens.
 
Viewing Photoshop channels you can see a difference in values between the linked image and illustrator flat tint.

Photoshop Elements :: Spot Healer Or Clone Stamp Sometimes Leave Black Spot On Image?

Mar 4, 2014

With both tools, I can make a few changes and then both will leave a black brush spot.  It works, and then it is like the program is too challenged & it just leaves a black spot.  Sometimes if I move my mouse to the history panel to back up to get rid of the black spot I get a swipe of the tool all across the image when I'm reaching with the mouse to go back in history.
 
I'm using PSE 11 and a Macbook Pro.

Illustrator :: Using Spot Colours In CMYK Artwork Linked From Photoshop

Jul 1, 2013

I need to use a spot black on some packaging. The spot black will be used as a vignette on top of a photograph of the product which is done in Photoshop. I have created the packaging in Illustrator and need to import this file but it needs to have the spot colour intact. So far I have created a PSD with a Spot channel which I thought was the answer but Illustrator can't read PSDs with spot channels. I then saved it as an eps but when I import an eps it only shows a white rectangle as opposed to the actual artwork.

Illustrator :: Converting Spot To Process - CMYK Values

Jul 2, 2012

When I use a Pantone color in CS5 and then convert to process, I get certain values for CMYK. However, when I use that same Pantone color in CS6 and convert to process, I get different values for CMYK.
 
For example, Pantone 2685C converted to process in the both applications yields:

(CS5)  C-96, M-100, Y-0, K-10
(CS6)  C-90.73, M-100, Y-30.6, K-16.54

Photoshop :: Document With CMYK Colour Mode

Aug 30, 2011

I've only ever created graphics for the screen, now I'm trying to create something for print.I started a Photoshop document with a CMYK colour mode and soon discovered it would only let me choose colours that look murky on screen.

I've been all over the internet to read about CMYK vs RGB etc and I've seen things to suggest that printers can't print the vibrant colours we see on screen. Fine, but what about the magazine I have next to me where I can see beautiful vibrant turquoises and fushias? How did THOSE colours get on to the paper?

If a CMYK colour looks murky on screen will it look more vibrant when printed?

Illustrator :: How To Make A Spot Colour Darker

Jul 22, 2013

What I have is a shape which uses a pantone colour. However, the background is also the same pantone colour and I'd like it to stay 100% tint of that colour. What I'd like is for the top shape to be darker than the background even though it uses the same PMS colour.
 
I've tried to do some reading about it, but couldn't quite get the answer I was looking for. I have my .ai file set to Overprint View and have given Multiply a try, but it doesn't look any different.
