emz Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 I have had a heck of a time trying to get my files to an online print company how they need them. I am trying to provide a file for a UV Spot Printed Business Card. They require a 3 page file: Front, Back, UV Highlight (with highlighted parts done in K 100%) I export my file as a PDF under CMYK and Color Forga39 (Which is also what the document has been set up in) but when they upload and bring into Adobe on their end the K is not 100%. I replicated what they were doing and sure enough, when I import the pdf into AI the K is not at 100% with the rest 0%. After hours of frustration, I finally just recreated the file in Illustrator and shot it off to them and of course it worked. What am I doing wrong?? Attached photos show: 1. CMYK for object in AFD 2. Export settings from AFD 3. Confirmation of CMYK for selected objects in AFD 4. CMYK of same objects brought into AI UV Highlight Created in AI.pdf UV Highlight Created in AF.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firstdefence Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 I've just looked at the document "UV Highlight Created in AF" and the small circles have a stroke 3pt, that stroke is set to rich black or thereabouts, not K: 100% Quote iMac 27" 2019 Sequoia 15.0 (24A335), iMac 27" Affinity Designer, Photo & Publisher V1 & V2, Adobe, Inkscape, Vectorstyler, Blender, C4D, Sketchup + more...

emz Posted October 10, 2018 Author Share Posted October 10, 2018 Thanks for looking at this, I appreciate it. When I bring the pdf back into Affinity like you did everything (including the stroke) is CMY 0% and K 100%... See video. How do I see what you are seeing?

firstdefence Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 Its not doing it now, I'll download the pdf again. Anyway see images below. Update, downloaded the PDF again and the stroke is set to 100% that's a bit odd, I'll export to my Illustrator and see what reading I get now.

emz Posted October 10, 2018 Author Share Posted October 10, 2018 Right, that's what I did in the video... I have no idea how to fix it. Thanks for helping! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firstdefence Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 If I export the PDF now it imports into Adobe Illustrator with everything at K: 100% Quote iMac 27" 2019 Sequoia 15.0 (24A335), iMac 27" Affinity Designer, Photo & Publisher V1 & V2, Adobe, Inkscape, Vectorstyler, Blender, C4D, Sketchup + more...
