Hi
Given:
1. Two spot colors, say myblue and myred.
2. A one-page document that consists of texts, vector graphics that
uses ONLY these 2 SPOT colors.
3. A grayscale tif placed on the page.
To be done:
I need create 2 postscript plates (will be used on offset press) and
will print with pantone inks, NOT by process.
The problem:
When printing separations, the grayscale tiff is separated into black plate,
I would like to see it on myblue plate together with texts and vector
graphics that uses myblue color.
Question: how to do it?
I found a workaround: removed myblue color and replaced it with black:
it separated then correctly. (Scribus do not know what ink ill be
filled into the press).
But its not an elegant solution and cannot be used, say if i will have
2 tiffs - one should go to myblue plate and one to myred plate.
Any solutions?
Thanks in advance,
Victor.
