Photoshop :: Spot Color From Photoshop To Illustrator

May 19, 2009

I usually print in CMYK, but I am laying out bz cards that need to be black and pantone 200u, just 2 color.  When I transfer the logo from PS to Illustrator the pantone 200 changes values.  I tried putting it in ID and it changes values there too.  The printer needs it to be pantone 200 and the press will print it that color.  It is a jpeg file.  Do I convert to CMYK or should it still be RGB?  How can I import it into Illustrator and it stay pantone 200.  I'm not sure of the values of the color now because in every application it is different.  Where can I find the values?  Years ago you would give it to the printer in black for spot on different layers and they would handle it.hear are my 20 questions...how can I import spot from PS to IllustratorThe values of pantone 200uleave rgb or cmykjpeg is this ok or do I need to change it to another format.

Illustrator :: Spot Color Swatches In AICS6 And AICC Do Not Match Color In Design

Feb 24, 2014

Some of the lighter, saturated colors in the PANTONE+ swatches library appear to be a different color in the swatch list than they are when applied to a design. see below for screen shots.
 
i can duplicate this situation on calibrated NEC MultiSync monitors and uncalibrated laptops. We are running on Mac OS X.8x and above.
 
Designers are complaining about not being able to pick a color from the Swatch Library in AICS6 or AICC. InDesignCC does not seem to have the same issue.

Photoshop :: Exporting Spot Color Channels As Paths With Fill To Illustrator

Mar 17, 2003

I need to send vectorized art to this company that only uses Illustrator. I have never used or even opened Illustrator. Ok, I'm very familiar with Freehand so I get the basic idea about vector. I have a 3 color logo that I have saved as a Photoshop DCS .eps file with the channels saved as spot colors so I can print separations with Pantone colors. According to what I have translated from the Photoshop guide what I need to do is figure out how to get my clipping paths of each channel to retain its fill when I export paths to Illustrator. I've tried and when I open the vectorized paths in say Freehand there is only lines and no fills. Do you guys have any ideas on how I can get these file seperations to this company with Illustrator?

Illustrator :: Spot Color Specifications

Nov 7, 2013

I created an ad using one PMS color after orginially being told that it was a "Thanksgiving 4 column x 4.5” spot color ad”. I received the following message from the newspaper printer today:
 
"Please relay to your corporate art department that the newspaper does not print in PMS/Pantone colors, except on a full color page, which requires an additional color charge. For spot color, we print in primary colors such as red or green, or in cyan or magenta alone.
 
As I understood it, spot color meant pantone, and CMYK was process. Am I wrong here or are the printers using the term "spot color" incorrectly?

Illustrator :: Spot Color Gradients - How To Preserve EPS

Aug 21, 2013

I create a logo in Illustrator.  It is 2 colors, black and pantone 287.  The gradient is only with the blue color. I save the file as a EPS.  I place the EPS into another program, and generate a new EPS file with all the elements and type combined.  My printer requires that all the fonts be converted to outline so I open the EPS again in Illustrator.  The logo with the gradients has been converted to CMYK and the gradients now appear in the LINKS panel but they are not editable.
 
Why is this happening?  How can I preserve the EPS so that I don't have to manually replace the converted gradient logo EVERY time I have to make a new EPS file?

Illustrator :: Spot Color Definitions Choice Persistent?

May 29, 2012

How can I make my spot color definitions choice persistent? I read a kb item that said how to swap out the new Pantone Plus color books for the old ones, to maintain color parity with older versions. One of the steps has me going to "Spot colors" on the swatches pallette and selecting "Use CMYK Values..." instead of "Use LAB Values...". I don't want to have to do this with every file. Is there a way to make this choice persistent?

Illustrator :: Ungroup And Change PS Spot Color Channels?

In illustrator, how do you change a photoshop spot color channel that has been imported into illustrator. Ever since Illustrator CS2 you could import a psd into Illustrator and you could ungroup the channels and change the colors. How do you do that in CS3-6? I have been trying to figure this out for years. My old computer with Illustrator 10 is about to die and so will my ability to do what I descried above.

Illustrator Scripting :: Getting Used Spot Colors In Color Legend On MAC JS Or Applescript

Mar 23, 2012

I've been looking around for a script that will take the used spot colors in a document and place them in a predetermined spot. I've came across several posts about this, such as the COLOR CHIPPER although I think it's focus was on swatches. What is confusing is the part of making New CMYKColor or RGB or if I even need to do that. I've looked at other posts and the Adobe docs, but none seem to work. Adding the text isn't difficult, it's getting these spot colors to reflect what's in the document that is. From what I'm seeing now:
 
I may have to use some other type of script such as Applescript to get rid of unused swatches first throught the actions panel, but I'm not sure.I could possibly use the getByName method to call out the specific rectangle and the and relative callout with the appropriate color instead of having to position everytime.

Illustrator :: Recolor Artwork - How To Preserve Spot Color In Tints And Shades

Dec 12, 2012

working in CS6, OS 10.6.8. I'm working on a 3-color screen print CD label, and the colors will be a white background, plus black and a PMS color. I've been recoloring some CMYK artwork to use in the design, and really liked the results of Recolor Artwork (selecting only black and the spot color), until I noticed that when I selected "tints & shades" it converted everything with black in it to process (which I know Adobe says is why you shouldn't select that option).
 
But my question is, how can I get the same effect (that is, using shades of the spot color "mixed" with black) without having it convert the shades to process? I'm sure it involves overprinting, but I'm hitting a big hole in my knowledge.

I just need to go from K and tones of K to a spot color and tones of a spot color.
 
I'm using recolor artwork because I can't merge into K. The art comes in from our customers as K so we can't just design differently.
 
The rectangles on the right are k and tones of k. The rectangles on the left are the results after converting to a spot color with recolor artwork. Using recolor artwork. I just need a way to accurately move the tones from k to a spot.

Illustrator Scripting :: Can Tint Be Adjusted For Items On Page That Have Spot Color Applied

Sep 27, 2012

I have been trying to mess with and target "tints" via javascript but either I am not understanding something or it cant be targeted as I had hoped, so I am looking for direction and guidance. I have a spot color assigned in the color swatches palette, and have drawn a few boxes on the page using this spot swatch. I then try to alter the tint using JS code.
 
sel[i].tint = // whatever number
alert(sel[i].tint) // This alerts fine
 
The alert shows a change taking place but it never gets applied to the item, the actual item never gets changed. I know things are properly targeted as I can change other attributes fine. When I look in the JS documentation it just shows for when creating a new spot, not for ones that already exist on items, I cant seem to find an example otherwise.
 
Can tint be adjusted for items on the page that have a spot color applied?

Photoshop :: Spot Color

Sep 16, 2007

I am having trouble with a spot color image that I am trying to create in Photoshop and then import into InDesign.

In Photoshop, I've created my spot color channel, selected the Pantone color, pasted a greyscale version of my image into the spot color channel and removed all information from the CMYK channels.

Since my spot color channel is full of various greys, I was expecting to see a full range of TINTS in my image. But for some reason it doesn't look anything like the way I expect it to.

When I choose the same Pantone in InDesign and apply a gradient from 100% to 0% tint, I see a full range of light and dark blues. But in Photoshop everything looks grey-blue.

I thought maybe there was a difference between how the two programs display the color, so I imported the Photoshop file into InDesign anyway. But it still looks grey-blue just like it was in Photoshop.

Photoshop :: Spot Color Discrepancy

Oct 4, 2005

My client gave me her logo in .EPS format, which I opened using Illustrator. The logo color was Pantone 274C. However, while working on the same EPS file in Photoshop, I realised, when I eyedropped the same color, Photoshop tells me its 2756C, and it does look duller in the workspace. I'm working in CMYK for both programs.

What could be the problem. Is there any way to solve this?
