we have some problems with spotcolors e.g. I have a document with a user defined spotcolor
"myspot" and have assigned an alternative CMYK color of (0,0,0,80) from the applicaiton
When i process this in the Apogee workflow and have it converted to Process color in the PDF Renderer,
the CMM converts this to a black that is composed of CMY but with K = 0
As I understand Agfa support I should not use convert since conversion means the use of CMM
and the settings of the alternative CMYK values are somehow ignored.
Instead I should keep myspot as spotcolor and map to black
But what if myspot is something like (50,0,0,80) ?? I set this as "press color values"
and what I get after the renderer is something that contains C, M!! and K
------
I wonder whether this is new behavior in Apogee 5 or some of the EssentialHotfixes ?? And whether I never noticed it before ?
-----
Is there anyone out who can say me something about the Overprint emulation which is displayed when I have a PDF with a spotcolor and an overprint situation ??
Any hint is welcome.
TIA,
