Help with EFI TIF File Recognition (One Bit)

[dirklance1982]

Hi there,

I have a problem with EFI Colorproof XF ver 3.1 with regards to importing 1bit tif files.

Our files are generated by Flexrip (ESKO) and when I try to import it to EFI it won't
automatically recognize the color separations =( what I always do is rename the files
for example:

image_458.tif ----> image_pantone 458 c.tif


I really find this time consuming and i would like to know if there is a way around this.
My problem only concerns importing Pantones. On the other hand
process colors (CMYK) imports just fine.

One of my officemates told me that i can make aliases for each pantone color in the
color editor option of EFI but there are so many pantones and it would take so much
time to do that.


Thanks very much appreciate your help on this.

if you have backstage, have the smartnames rename your file to image_PANTONE 485 C.tif
