I apologize if this question has been addressed in the past, but I haven't been able to find this topic posted here anywhere. If you work at a printer, then the answer is pretty simple, I'm sure, but I'm at a small prepress department and we just have the basics. Mac OS + Adobe CS1 + Fiery printers.
Is there a way to just turn a spot color off in Acrobat perhaps? It's simple enough to do it in Separation Preview, but why can't I simply do the same when I print? I've tried going to the Advanced Options and turning the spot channel off, but it still prints with the spot color. I've even set up PitStop to convert the spot color to white. This works, but I don't want to alter the PDF. I just want to print it with the spot color set to not print. The spot color is set to overprint btw.
Do I just need to by a better RIP for the printers? Help!
