How do I make separatable PMS Solid colors?

297 views4 repliesLast post: 5/12/2004
I have a two color, simple line art, document. It is in layers, the two colors are each on their own layer. I have saved the document as an eps file for the client. When they open it it reads as a CMYK document, but they want it to be 2 spot colors (using black and 1 PMS solid color). How do I set it up so it opens as two PMS solid colors and not CMYK? Thanks!

The title of your thread say you want 'separatable PMS Solid colors' and I think what you are saying is that you want PMS color channels preserved. Anyway, If you are using version 7 of Photoshop (you didn't specify) save in DCS format. Read page 211 in your user manual for details.

Better get a license.

Get the Pantone(R) Process Color Imaging Guide "Solid To Process" and follow the CMYK percentages for the solid color you want to attempt to replicate.

We aim to answer every question, even if it's not the question.
