JLE67 Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 Hello, I am in the process to create a book with coloured illustrations, therefore I use a CMJN Publisher document. The text in this book is pure black, I mean if I select it and check its colour, it is N:100% and CMJ:0%. For the printer, I exported the file in PDF format using "printing" or "ready to print option", but when we open the PDF file with Acrobat Pro (I also tried Photoshop) the text is no more 100%N but a mix of all four colours?!? I don't understand why as text colour is defined in the CMJN space as pure black… This may be a problem for printing as a minor decay of the 4 colour will have dramatic effects on the text. Maybe I am doing something wrong, but after an exploration of menus and options in Publisher, I still do not have an answer. If someone has a response and mainly a solution I want it! Best regards.

JLE67 Posted December 17, 2020 Author Share Posted December 17, 2020 Hum… The first option does not seem to be a solution as I have still the problem… And sorry for the second option, I don't understand what do you mean… 😕 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dazmondo77 Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 Your settings look correct - are you using a PDF/X variant? I usually leave profile set to document profile, which shouldn't make a difference in your case as you selected the same profile as your document, but you never know - may be worth a try Quote Mac Pro Cheese-grater (Early 2009) 2.93 GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon 48 GB 1333 MHz DDR3 ECC Ram, Sapphire Pulse Radeon RX 580 8GB GDDR5, Ugee 19" Graphics Tablet Monitor Triple boot via OCLP 1.4.3 - Mac OS Monterey 12.7.3, Sonoma 14.1.1 and Mojave 10.14.6 Affinity Publisher, Designer and Photo 1.10.5 - 2.4.0 Betas 2.5.0(2430) www.bingercreative.co.uk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
