postscript code to ignore colours in RIP

Hi

I have a Harlequin Rip V11.0, in which I am trying to set up a "page feature" that ignores specific colours, the idea behind this is

instead of having to goto each print set up and add a colour to ignore in a PDF work flow I just add that colour once to the page feature and have that

page feature activated in each print cue, basically I only need to add the colour once.

The below code is what I have but it does not appear to do anything, I have posted on the Harlequin site and had no joy, gone back to

Harlequin to see if they can offer any help, but have had response.

I was hoping that someone preficient in writing postscript may be able to offer something I can work with, please see my

attempt below, the page size and elements should not be altered, this is only to ignore colours, any help welcome.

<<

  /SeparationDetails <<

     /Ignore <<

      /TEST true

       /slug blue true

      /Keyline true

     >>

   >>

>> setpagedevice

cheers

Correct answer Dov Isaacs

Harlequin RIPs do not use any Adobe PostScript or PDF technology.

Please contact Global Graphics (the developers of Harlequin technology) or your RIP vendor for assistance with PostScript or PDF specific to those RIPs.

Thank you.
