Can I do this in a Workflow?

[StillWaiting]

Hi Guys,

I'm kinda stumped on how this would work visually.

Have a single RIP once Output many WF. (AE 12.2)

Files are launched out of Illustrator as normalized to this WF.

1 - File is selected in Illustrator w/ public parameters to Trap or not then get written to folder: [JobURL]/output/[File].ae.pdf for future use when it needs to be set to go through our Output WF.

2 - That SAME file then travels along the same WF to go to different public parameters to choice which Proof Tag goes on it.

What I want to do is delete any Inks that have *Tint on them and write that file to [JobURL]/output/[File].ae.pdf

Hears the catch, I need that *Tint ink name to stay on when it goes to the rest of the WF, so it stays with the "proof" pdf

I know I should be able to "Fork" of of these two Task but I can't figure the right way to do it.

Thanks for any insight that you can provide.

Put a Fork task in and have the file run in 2 paths one for your proof file that has the *tint ink names and the other the removes them.

You can add some optimise separation task and set to remove the tint ink name or any ink you want to remove in the task and use it to continue your output.

may be you can define that ink as "technical" or "opaque"? so then you can make the rule that a technical ink will be output and in the other case that no technical ink will be output?

Go to http://esko.com/en/support. Locate the Complete Automation Engine manual and type "How Can You Differentiate the Processing of Separations for Different Printing Methods” in the search field upper left. That may help.

Nope. You know the "Extract Inks" task is very misleading. There is not one option to extract inks from a file.The only option is "Keep inks that match the following criteria"

P.S. This problem has been solved with the "Optimize PDF Separations" Inks tab.

Esko has their own Solution Architects who can be contracted to solve specific issues. (I have no idea of the costs). Esko also offers classes in AE, as well as other products, in their offices in Miamisburg, OH where the highest cost would be your own travel expenses and time. Contact Esko for info on both.
