Hello Everyone;
I have 2 jobs that I need to output from Illustrator, and they are supposed to include the same spot color background.
One of the files gets its background color from Illustrator, the other from Photoshop. CS2.
When I place the Photoshop file in Illustrator (as .eps or .jpg) and check its cmyk values (with the eyedropper), it is different than it was in Photoshop.
Save that Illustrator file as a .pdf and open it in Illustrator, and you get the incorrect background color value.
Open that same .pdf in Photoshop and the background color is correct!
Seems I have some color setting set incorrectly in Illustrator; just not sure where or how to fix it.
Eventually this job will be a .pdf that gets ripped on an HP Indigo. Currently, the Indigo rip reads the incorrect Illustrator values from the .pdf; if it was reading the Photoshop values I would have no problem here.
Thanks in advance if you can help!
Peace to the PrintPlanet.
