    How do you make a 2nd hit in RAMpage?

    We cannot seem to get RAMpage to make "stay aways" on second hits around knocked out areas. We end up making the colors process to make it work. Like using black and a 30% cyan as the second hit. We'd like to leave the file colors as is for proofing. How are you all handling this? Mike
