1. Re: How do you make one spot color knock out of a 2nd but not a 3rd
Scott Falkner Apr 8, 2008 6:47 AM (in response to Cindy Johnston)Sounds like you want to print onto an opaque white base. Easiest option is to put that base on top layer in your illustration and set it's fill to overprint. Use a custom Spot swatch for the white. And talk to the printer. -

Cindy Johnston Apr 8, 2008 7:40 AM (in response to Cindy Johnston)Actually, 219 pink is the base color and I have some white type that I want to knock out of the grayscale image but overprint the 219. -

Cindy Johnston Apr 8, 2008 7:55 AM (in response to Cindy Johnston)Scott, that definitely works, but I have to save a 2nd file because I can't make a proper proof from it. -

rcraighead Apr 8, 2008 8:27 AM (in response to Cindy Johnston)To get the separation you need AND create a good proof, you could add a second fill attribute to the text object (in the attributes panel), set it to "219" and move it below the white "Overprint" fill.
If the 219 background is not solid, you could assign a copy of your text as a transparency mask on your grayscale image, to knock out the text, then set the white text to overprint. -
5. Re: How do you make one spot color knock out of a 2nd but not a 3rd
Scott Falkner Apr 8, 2008 9:41 AM (in response to Cindy Johnston)You could give the white text two fills: One white, on 219 with Overprint fill checked for the 219 fill. Use the Appearance palette to add a new fill, then select just that fill colour in the Appearance palette to change its colour and overprint options. -
