Printer Struggling with Mixed Ink Swatch 2 color

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hi, I'm sending a PDF to a printer from an InDesign file that uses spot color + a % of black for a 2 color job and they seem to be struggling getting their rip software to process the mixed ink swatch. Should I be setting this up a certain way that wouldn't cause problems?

	Not sure why he printer is having a problem. Most modern RIPs should be fine. Worse case scenario - rename your spot color to CYAN and they'll just put in the spot ink. If you're printing Digital, can't do this.
