Used one for 12 years, switched 2 years ago. I will have to ask my artist in the morning if you don't figure it out before then.

Post by: Dottonedan on November 01, 2013, 08:32:06 AM: When you create the art or look at the customer art, in the search pallet, double click on the color to confirm that it is indeed a spot color (Pantone) or a custom spot color you created. It sounds like your colors could be assigned as a process color instead of a custom or Pantone color.

If it is indeed a spot or Pantone color, then maybe your art elements are not 100% solid.

If they are, then the issue may be a rip glitch of some sort.

I will change my to a similar pantone color in ai and send again. When I use the output controller in ai I will see right away if it is seeing anything other my pms colors.
If I need to explain that better just let m eknow.

Post by: 3Deep on November 01, 2013, 01:45:15 PM: I'm thinking the same as Dan, but like Balloonguy said you should see all spot colors light up or you'll see process light up also in your sep box.
