Spot Color, Word Art, Autoshapes - Problems with Graphic Fills.

S

Stuart F.

I designed a project using PUBLISHER 2002. It came out
great. However, when I save for pre-press SPOT COLOR
(PANTONE), all the WORD ART graphics, and AUTOSHAPES turn
GREY. The graphics that turn grey were all FILLED with a
cloud graphic that was included with the program. I
recolored the graphic using the FORMAT PICTURE>RECOLOR
option to the PANTONE as I was advised by my printer. I
also selected COLOR PRINTING>SPOT COLOR prior to saving.
I also tried it by setting COLOR PRINTING>SPOT COLOR and
selecting the PANTONE prior to designing the document. I
am about to go to press, and need the fill to appear in
the PANTONE !! The only way I can get the fill to go to
the PANTONE color is by filling with a solid, but not
with a graphic. The problem is that I lose the
transparency effect, the PANTONE color, and the graphic
fill when I save for SPOT COLOR (PANTONE). Help ! Thanks.

If your whole job is to be printed in 1 pantone color only,
make the whole thing B&W/grayscale and send it that way.
With instructions on what pms to mix for the pressrun.
