Re: Creating a PMS Duotone in Illustrator I think someone mentioned it already, but I do this quite often by applying two fills to the same box. Here is the how to if you're interested: 1. Make a box (or whatever) and give it a fill with whatever spot color you are using. 2. Under the...

Re: Negative Prints using "White" .eps file color coming out screened omg that was it!!!!!!!!! Printing the file color separated to make the negative postscript file worked perfectly. Not only that, the inverting come out correctly so there was no need to distill the file in Acrobat. This is...

Re: Negative Prints using "White" .eps file color coming out screened So, this is really weird. I tried printing as a positive instead of a negative and this time, the .eps "white" showed clear (as it should have). But the .eps black showed as a screen of black and not solid. While the black...
