Spot Color Guidelines

Trend can accept composite PDF files with spot colors.Be absolutely sure that your PDF contains only the spot colors you want printed. Any additional spot colors in the file will cause delays, additional charges, and possibly an incorrectly printed job.

If you have a spot color job (2-color or 3-color) and are uncomfortable with using actual spot colors, or your system does not support them, there is another option available. You can use either cyan or magenta for your second color (you could use yellow, but it's a bit more difficult to see), or both for a three-color job, and tell your Customer Service Representative which Pantone color you'd like to use for that plate. It may look funny on screen, but it will print fine.

When creating a PDF in Quark 6 or 7 with spot colors, use the DeviceN color space (not CMYK or As Is).

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact your Customer Service Representative or a .
