Hi
I'm having problems with a print process that I'm really hoping someone knows how to fix. I have a business card design compiled in illustrator CS3. The business card and the client's company logo use the colours black and Pantone Orange 021. Problem is, there's a graduated transparency filter behind the company logo that seems to be set to CMYK and unable to print as spot.
Basically, the cards background is solid Pantone 021, the logo is also solid Pantone 021, so a graduated tint (like a reversed shadow - light instead of dark) has been placed between the logo and the background so that the logo shows up on the background of the same colour.
But the graduated transparency only prints as CMYK, whereas it is required to print in a graduated tint of Pantone 021.
Can anyone tell me how to get it to print as the spot colour?
Many thanks
