Hi All,
We use a custom Spot Colour "KEYLINE" (M: 100; Y: 30) to indicate perf lines and other printing marks.
We want this colour to show on our soft proofs, but not appear on our plates, nor knock out.
We have defined this colour in Ink Management as a Die Line, and set it to not print.
It does not show on plates from the spot colour queues, however it does knock out.
On the CMYK queues this spot is converted to process and appears on the plates. CMYK colour conversion is done using action list in Preflight.
Is there any way to have this colour ALWAYS be spot AND overprint, never appearing on the plates or interacting with any other ink.
We had this system in place on Apogee before moving to XMF about a year ago, with rushed installation/training.
Thanks
