Staff stokerg Posted July 10, 2019 Staff Share Posted July 10, 2019 Hi designenergie and Welcome to the Forums, Which app is this for? Can you attach the .afpub/afdesign or .afphoto file? I just tested this using Publisher, then checked in Acrobat and as you can see in the attached screenshot my text is showing as K100 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
designenergie Posted July 10, 2019 Author Share Posted July 10, 2019 Hi, thank you for the Answer. I defined the Black as a new color and didn`t use the predefined. So it worked for most Elements, but on Screen its shown in grey instead of black. BUT anyway the line in the Logo ist still not the right kind of black. Hope you can help :-) thx joerg Firmenschilder.pdf Firmenschilder.afpub Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff stokerg Posted July 10, 2019 Staff Share Posted July 10, 2019 Hi joerg, As the eps file was linked, i'm working with a cached preview of it in the afpub file. Can you attach the .eps file for the logo and that way i know i'm working with the actual eps file and not a preview of it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
designenergie Posted July 10, 2019 Author Share Posted July 10, 2019 Hi Stokerg attached you find the eps. i double clicked it in Publisher and changed color in the dok that openend to K100. Perhaps that was the mistake? Mailboxnow_15032016.eps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff stokerg Posted July 10, 2019 Staff Share Posted July 10, 2019 Thanks for the file Couple of things here, looks like we are assigning a wrong colour profile to the EPS (which i'll need to log) but if you double click the logo which will open it on it's own window. Now click on Document Setup and on the Colour tab set this to match the profile of your main document (Euroscale Uncoated v2) and then make sure all the black items are K100. Now close this and the main file will be updated. If you export this and open it Acrobat, bring up the Output Preview and disable Simulate Overprint and you should find everything is now K100. As the black curve is covering up some red, Acrobat is simulating the overprint some print and will report black and yellow. Disable overprinting and it should just show as 100K. Really it would be better to edit the EPS file and remove the items that are being covered up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
