From Quark, does anyone have suggestions for Spot Color PDFs?

Each time I send our Spot PDFs to our RIP, they convert to Process

I'm using Quark 4.1. Make sure in your colour palettes, the colour you selected is spot colour, not CMYK or any non-spot process plan.

then when outputting, setup up (in print dialog) the 'document' tab to separations on, and then in 'output' tab, 'plates', setup 'process and spot'- you'll see the spot colour you specified in the dialog. Then print out the postscript, distill it and when you view it in reader etc., you'll see the plate for spot if you use the process viewer....

It also depends what kind of RIP you have. They all treat files differently and some have plug-ins for Acrobat and Quark to make it work correctly.


Can you provide more info?
