[Mark @ Hurricane Printing]

Dont know if this should be here or in the seps forum but i have an oyo 618 thermal image setter and im printing out some spot color seps i made in coreldraw x5. Once the design is seped in corel i then published to a pdf....then opened up in the oyo rip software to print out....but the seps are printing out in halftones.....when it should be all spot colors. How do i make it print solid spot colors???

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.

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 use an oyo techstyler.  I use ai for my seps so I can answer your question specifically but I do know that sometimes I have the same problem. 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.

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.
