A high school student has contacted me for some help - but I'm having trouble helping him.
He's doing a single page CMYK document in MS Publisher.
His printer has told him that some large black areas need to be in rich black - 100K 60C 40M 40Y
The student thinks he's created a rich black (100K 60C 40M 40Y) and has tagged the boxes with his Rich black while the text is tagged 100 K only.
However when he exports the document as a PDF and I open it in Acrobat the Rich black boxes are 76K 72C 63M 70Y while the text is 74K 71C 65M 66Y
Where in MS Publisher or in his PDF Export setting could his screen tint builds be changing? What can he do to diagnose where his file is being changed?
(I don't have MS Publisher nor does his printer)
thx, gordo
