I opened an RGB bitmap in Corel PhotoPaint, converted to grayscale, then to duotone. Chose black plus a pms color. Tried to import to CorelDraw and it says its a duotone but it comes in as a grayscale. Checked print preview, separations, and it has only 1 plate. Tried saving as an eps in PhotoPaint, imported to CorelDraw and it looked like it came in properly but lo-res. In print preview it showed both plates, but the pms plate was blank. When I printed both plates, the black was low-res and looked like it was screened as it should have been for a duotone, but the pms print was blank. Any help?

EPS file imported into Draw will only print out correctly when printed to a postscript device. What you see is a low resolution header. If you have Acrobat/Jaws or similar print to that and see if the separations are correct or-this might work, print to a postscript printer set to file - import using postscript interpreted filter and see if the separated files come in. Not a difinitive test but may give you an idea.
