Traps generated in ArtPro and saved as composite PS are converted to CMYK after normalizing


Product

  Prinergy Connect 2.0

Platform

 

Mac, PC

Operating system

 

Mac OS 9.1, Windows 2000


Error

 


Symptoms

 

Traps are generated in ArtPro and then saved as composite PostScript for use in Prinergy. After normalizing and viewing the normalized PDF in Acrobat, any traps that are trapped into a CT image convert to CMYK. The same problem occurs when the file is distilled.


Cause

  PostScript was meant to print to a CMYK color printer only. Export PDF in ArtPro 6.0 will output PDF 1.3. This version cannot contain two spot colors in one object, so ArtPro converts the object to CMYK.


Solution

 

The only way to maintain traps in ArtPro for processing in Prinergy, we must write out dcs2 out of ArtPro. See the "ArtPro to Priergy Best Practices" document.
