Spot colors get converted with the wrong color recipe


Product

  Prinergy Connect 2.1 ; Prinergy Powerpack 2.1

Platform

 

Operating system

 


Error

 


Symptoms

 

When a job has multiple spot colors and SOME spot colors are set to output separately and some are set to convert to process, the converted colors do not print with the color recipe saved inside the color database.


Cause

  The color combiner is not being used to convert the spots unless ALL spots get converted to process but the RIP is doing the conversion. When the RIP does the conversion, it does not receive the proper spot color recipes

Solution

 

Temporarily change the spot color recipe of the colors you wish to output separately to be 0,0,0,0 and output CMYK with the output Process plan set to "Convert All spots to process" and "Use color combiner" ON. Then output the spot colors using a different process plan that has "Convert All spots to process" OFF.

Permanent fix:
