Preparing PDF for printer with color seps 1

[thetshirtguy]

I created a business card and my printer is asking for a pdf file with color separations. It is a spot color print job so it needs to be in pantone colors. How do I do this. I have Corel Draw 12.

Probably publish to pdf but I much prefer printing to Acrobat or Jaws, you can take advantage of the brilliant Corel print engine which enables imposition/separation/viewing separations etc.

Thanks for the info, it helped. I have another delema...how do I change the color from being cmyk to pantone? The print job is a two color business color on a spot color press. Any additional help would be appreciated.

Use the Pantone Palette. This where using Acrobat or Jaws is good because you just 'print' to the driver using the Corel print engine to separate and make multi up or whatever, this will prodece a pdf with as many pages as there are colours. These will be black, his RIP maybe able to mirror the image and make a negative, maybe worth while asking but all of this can be done in Corel.
