Product

Platform

 

Server: Dell all; Client: PC or Macintosh

Error

 


Symptoms

 

When viewing a TIFF file that has spot colors in Copydot Toolkit (CTK) 4.0, the traps are hidden.


Cause

  In CTK 4.0, spot colors are opaque in the default view and will hide adjacent traps.

Solution

 

To see the traps in CTK 4.0, change the setting under the View Menu to view opaque colors as transparent.

To view spot colors as transparent:

1. While the file is opened for viewing in CTK, select View from the menu.

A drop-down menu for the view options displays.

2. Click on Opaque Colors as Transparent. A check mark appears when the option is turned on.

The view of the file now shows the spot colors as transparent and the traps that were hidden.

Permanent fix:
