MxHeppa Posted December 2, 2023 Author Share Posted December 2, 2023 seems only coated pantone colours used (i mean way they show correctly in expoered pdf as well) can be used tinting photos k only and selecting pantone way. i want understand how is not possible have cmyk ink (one of them original idea is use black) + pantone using them as ? then this cmyk in element disappears or at least Acrobat Pro dont show it. if define own spot colour what is cmyk black works expect of course stays "own plate". also photo in cmyk/rgb with top of pantone ink works. but not with these K only images what i tinted speffic ink expect if stay coated/uncoated solid collection colours fine but if i need cmyk colour no luck.

thomaso Posted December 2, 2023 Share Posted December 2, 2023 You can assign a spot fill colour to a K-Only image or create a gradient with spot colours and export successfully as spot colours but Affinity does not enable us yet to create swatches of mixed spot colours. For instance: v1105 spot colours.pdf (It may be caused by my limited English skills that your various threads often sound unclear to me. So, just in case, if wanted you could write in another, possibly more native language than English or use a translating website.)

MxHeppa Posted December 2, 2023 Author Share Posted December 2, 2023 when i export as pdf/x-4 with raster unsupported properties i get pdf what looks good in monitor and these areas at least with text and magenta tinted picture get both inks these areas but not other inks. and if i want text way is removes bottom image text should be top play (first one list). then at least in monitor and acrobat pro tools good looking material is result i dont know how is printed. maybe take risk someday with postcards. and buy service where company checks manualy material can say it is not ok if is not ok. ps. i use affinity V2 i forgot say Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
