When the printer said he only needed a "Spot Channel" he really meant that he only needed a single tone ie: greyscale (single channel) file to make the single plate for printing.

Sorry for the long winded posts, but I hope the info is useful anyway.

Again, ask (here) if you want further clarification.

Thanks Al!

I'm a visual learner (ha ha) so your postings are sure to help!

Hiya Jennifer,

As long as you learn somehow [righton]

Here's a greyscale, just make the toolbox colours default black and white. Do your text. Flatten it and save.

Give it to the printer as a TIF file and forget about eps and DCS.

Simple is the best, Al

Wato

that's great! thanks for the post.

question: how did you get the entire text to appear in the channel? (i've already created the layers so i'm going back in order to avoid re-typing everything)...or did that occur after you flattened it?

Good explaining, Al! [righton]

Long way for a short cut.
