Hi guys, a question to a pre-press gurus:
Lets say I have a file, red and black, it could be saved as PDF from word or made in past as 2 color job but CMYK,
How can I manipulate it that some parts of it will become pure magenta and some pure black? So I can RIP out K+M and have it separated for plates? Is there such thing? Or what is the best practice? Most of our files are vector based out of Illustrator...
I tried asking my designer to create files in magenta+black to start with but then customers worry that it will be magenta at the end and I have a long way to explaining that magenta represents red and once plate is made I throw any ink I want....
Thanks in advance.
