Error

 

The error message is Error: Typecheck offending command restore.


Symptoms

 

If a multichannel DCS image (Single or Multi-file) that has been sampled with Color Central's Sampler is placed in Illustrator 8 or 9, the image shows up in Illustrator at very low resolution, about 25 dpi, and fails in the Normalize (OPI on) process.


Cause

  Sampler files created wih the "Sample Type" preference set to "Classic" or 2.0 do not work.

Multichannel files are Photoshop files that have one of the process channels (CMYK) missing. A use of this type of file is where the user wants to substitute, say Reflex blue for Cyan in an image or if the image contains 2 spots only. Multichannel files MUST be saved as DCS2 only.


Solution

 

A, Change the "Sample Type" preference in Sampler to "OPI 1.3"

or

B. In Photoshop, change the mode to CMYK and re-save the file. Make a new sample so that the preview looks good in Illustrator and refine again with OPI enabled in the Process Plan.

Permanent fix:
