2 color saving...

[jabuss]

Hello everyone.<br>
<br>
I am fairly new to Adobe Illustrator and my biggest question is:<br>
<br>
How do I export a TIFF in 2 colors (b&w)???<br>
<br>
I am trying to create images for an SGML publishing system. We are using ccit4 images (most of our graphics are technical line art). For some reason, I can get the images to appear in our authoring application, but they will not print, and the problem has been attributed to more than 2 colors in the art (the original images we import are PCX files). We can go into PSP and export as a TIFF, but any text we create in there has randomly bolded letters in it.<br>
<br>
Can someone PLEEEEEEEEZE help me????<br>
<br>
-Thanks in advance,<br>
<br>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I've never tried what you are doing, but...<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The problem is that Illustrator assumes 4 color process from the start, and unless you create your own custom colors, you will always end up using a black that is actually based on four colors, not just black.<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;You should create your own black from the custom pallet and make sure that it has only black in it, and no cyan, magenta or yellow.<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Maybe that will work.<br><br>Andre Vandal <p>Andre Vandal<br><a href=mailto:dezign@canada.com>dezign@canada.com</a><br><a href=
