Printing Duotone files from PS PDFs in Illustrator v12 1

[JacqueDelaneu]

I've built a brochure in Photoshop CS and converted the color mode to Duotone. I've saved it as a .PDF file and gave it to my printer. He says when he opens it up in Illustrator (I assume to seperate the colors for plate printing) it comes out as CMYK and doesn't know where to go from there. After doing some research I've found that for duotone files to be preserved I need to save my built file in .EPS format. I opened it up in Illustrator myself to test it out but I am unsure where to go from there. What settings should I be using to ensure that my printer guy can print the duotone image?

I've noticed that my only color options are RGB and CMYK, thus I chose RGB. What steps would he be taking to seperate the colors? Am I just deficient in my program usage/number of programs?

Thakns for any help you have.

If he places the .EPS into Illustrator then goes to File/Print
Then down to the output option, and changes from composite to seperations, then bingo...
