Reply To: Spot colors for press

Hey guys.

Thanks for the responses.

I'm still learning about preparing artwork for press, so I'm just as confused as you are. Above is an example of the file that I recreated:

https://www.filefactory.com/fil…..r_file.pdf

The PDF file is compatible with Acrobat 4.0. It uses a transparency flattener with raster/vector balance of 100, line art text resolution of 2400ppi, gradient mesh and mesh resolution of 200ppi, and with 'convert all text to outline' and 'convert all strokes to outlines' ticked.

I have a gut feeling that Eugene Tyson might be right about the printer not turning on overprint on the RIP.
