Problem color cutcontour

[ThomasSF]

Bonjour,

Mon anglais n'étant pas très bon, je vous transmet ma demande en français.

Lorsqu'un client me transmet un fichier avec des illustrations et des cutcontour 100% Tons magenta, lorsque j'enregistre son fichier en .EPS sur adobe Illustrator j'ai ce message : "Lorsque des tons directs sont combinés avec des zones transparentes, leur conversion en couleur quadri dans une application autre qu'Illustrator peut produire des résultats inattendus."

Comment puis-je régler ce problème pour avoir mon design et mon cutcontour ?

J'ai essayé avec un applatissement des transparence mais cela me modifie mon illustration.

Quelqu'un a-t-il une solution ?

Bien cordialement,
Thomas

Change everything to cmyk.

[ThomasSF]

Not working because if i change everything to cmyk, i change my tone magenta cutcontour too. And my Soft versaworks cant recognize my cutcontour...

I thought when you said the contourCut was 100% Magenta that it was cmyk.

Isolate the contourCut to a seperate layer, turn the layer off, select all, convert to cmyk.

Turn on the conourCut layer with your spot Magenta.

This is just a warning of consequences that might happen when something goes wrong.

You won't convert that spot to process and the printing service also knows what they are doing, so everything's good, right?

But since you are using transparency: why save as EPS? EPS flattens transparency.

When i have that message always my Printer Soft dont detect my cutcontour...

I think it's because on my file i have CMYK colors and direct tone colors (obligatory for my cutcontour 100% magenta).

I have to save as EPS because my Printer Soft "Versaworks" use only EPS and PDF, and i have the same problem with PDF

Then where in the file is the transparency?

The cutcontour should just overprint, right?

[ThomasSF]

I have transparency on my path and my form. My cutcontour is on another layer.

When i turn off my illustrations layer for keep only my Cutcontour layer, it's work, my Roland can detect the Cutcontour.

So i think the problem is my mix color with my illustrations and my tone color Cutcontour.

I can't find the solution... 😞

[Monika Gause]

The transparency in your file causes the warning to appear. So what you can do is flatten the transparency.

[Met1]

Transparency is not supported with spot colors only in pure cmyk.

We already know it can see the contour cut layer, so the problem is all in the art, so did you try doing as I suggested originally, turn off your contour cut layer, select all, convert to cmyk, turn on your contour cut layer, and print?

Why do you think that is the case?

Why do you think that spot color and transparency aren't supported with each other?

Merci!
I don't speak french, but the comments here have aided me immensely in solving an unrelated but similar problem.
