Printing Monotone/Duotone Bitmaps

[itsse03]

When I import greyscale bitmaps and apply monotone/duotone to it to get a spot color, it displays and seperations work fine. But if I do any kind of composite printing, be it printed to an actual printer or to PDF, the bitmaps shows as the original color.

Can anyone give me some pointers on how to fix this problem? Doing this same procedure in InDesign work great, but I have old artwork for clients that are changed from time to time and I don't want to start from scratch or get into complicated importing.

I think I read somewhere that acrobat can't display a duotone but it will separate ok. Try doing your duotone in Corel Paint - export/save as an eps - import eps into Draw as eps NOT interpreted. The eps will show as a low res header but will print ok to a Postscript printer/device ok. The advantage of the eps route is that in theory it should go into any dtp programme that takes eps.
