MickRose Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 In Publisher is there an equivalent of the InDesign Export to PDF with no colour conversion (picture below)? I ask because I'm struggling to keep 100K as 100K (same problem with tints of black). The only way I can see that works is to make a Global Spot colour and tick the "Honour Spot Colours" box in the PDF export/more panel. I've tried various profiles but I can't get anything else to work. Quote Windows 10 Pro, I5 3.3G PC 16G RAM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palatino Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 There are two possibilities: 1. activate "Nur K" for a color image 2. black and white images with a "black ink" printing profile (and "Only K").

MickRose Posted July 30, 2019 Author Share Posted July 30, 2019 It's not images which are the problem. It's text and vector shapes. transitdiagrams 1 Quote Windows 10 Pro, I5 3.3G PC 16G RAM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MickRose Posted July 30, 2019 Author Share Posted July 30, 2019 The 3 top right boxes in the Swatches panel don't give me a K only value after exporting to PDF. This is what 100k looks like. It's using the ICC profile to change the value. I can see why it does this and it's fine for photos, but it shouldn't do it for text and vectors.

Palatino Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 Very simple: PDF (for export) – no changes Quote Thanks to DeepL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MickRose Posted July 30, 2019 Author Share Posted July 30, 2019 Thanks - I still can't work out exactly why it wasn't working for me but I think it was a profile issue somewhere. Quote Windows 10 Pro, I5 3.3G PC 16G RAM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palatino Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 Of course it was a profile problem. Either the document had sRGB or D50 or something. The Publisher document must have the final cmyk profile from the beginning. Or a print profile as above. Ah, one more thing: if you ever meet Nile Wilson, please give him my regards. I'm a big fan.

Palatino Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 The profile is extracted from ISO Coated V2 300% and describes the same printing conditions as the original, just for the black ink. Quote Thanks to DeepL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
