Saving for output to print in pantone colors 1

[evolvingvisions]

I made an image using all pantone colors. when i save it and bring it into quark, it is printing with process colors as well as pantones. Does anyone know what i'm doing wrong? I have tried saving it as a tiff and eps.

Hi,

Did you embed the color profile when saving, there is a checkbox to save the color profile you are working with when you save.

Explore that and see if that works.

Hope this helps!

There are two main options for using pantone inks:

1: You have to make sure you are using Multi Channel mode, that there are no process channels being used. Then save it as a Photoshop DCS file so it separates properly.

2: Using the duotone mode, save as an EPS.

Either of these two methods will separate correctly in Quark. Keep in mind that when you show a list of colors used in Quark, it always shows the process colors (you can't delete these). This doesn't mean that they will print. In the Print dialog box (in Quark), make sure the 'Separations' box is ticked in the Document tab, then go to the Output tab. The 'Plates' list should be set to 'Used Process & Spot', and the table below this will list all colors used. If there are process colors in your Photoshop file, they'll show up here.
