setting up files for spot pantone printing in indesign (ballache)

[michael_0]

hey guys, i was hoping someone more knowledgeable would be able to help me out with an indesign befuckery i'm having.

i'm doing the disk artwork for a bands ep release at the moment, setting it all up in indesign, but the printers need to have the two colour image in spot pantone black and yellow. i sent the printer something that just turned out to be CMYK. i know the pantone bit, being a specific colour guideline, but all i've managed to work out about the 'spot' part of that sentence is that it's set up through the channels...

can some one give me a hand working this out? i don't seem to be doing very well....

thanks,


.michael.

You need to go into your swatches palette and change your colors from CMYK to Spot. It's in the options menu of the swatches palette.
