I need some steps on how to create spot colors with  less than 100% solids.  Even better, would be an explanation on how to create a blend using custom or spot colors without it creating CMYK colors and without transparency.


I need the old school method before they introduced transparency method. I know there are multiple ways to achieve a halftone or % of a color,  so I'm looking for any of those methods Step by Step please.

Holding the left mouse button down while selecting a color from a pallette opes this tint fly-out

Well, if that isn't as basic as it gets.  I like it.  Any other methods?


How about the procedure for gradient blends?

In CorelDraw, it's Fountain Fill

To answer your other question, the other way to tint a spot color is through the Uniform Fill window
