Reply To: How do i make text black not four colour?

Hi all,

Thank you for taking the time to reply, very much appreciated.

I have separated the ID document so that the front cover colour image is now in a separate file. This is for convenience and my sanity in trying to fix this. I have also checked that the black text is 100% K by using the separations preview that has been mentioned. If I un-eye K, all the text disappears.

I have then sent to print directly from ID to the printer (set to automatic – so it should pick up that it is just colour) and it still prints the black using FC.

I think, it is probably that I am using a very advanced program with run-of-the-mill copiers and not commercial printers, where non-FC black is not a consideration perhaps. Who knows.

I have lived and learnt that I don't think I can achieve a mixed print with the current set-up. Thanks anyway everyone.

Cheers,

Nick
