Help with channels, possible to have monotone & grey channels in one file?

[calmserv]

Hello,

First, please bear with me as I am fairly new to channels and spot printing.

I am working on a file for a print job which uses greyscale and a spot color. What I was wondering is if there was a way to achieve the effect in the image below, where a portion of the image is greyscale and a portion is a spot color, but that spot color is monotone (no grey). This file needs to only have two channels, greyscale and spot color. The image shown was created by pasting a portion of a monotone file onto a cmyk image.

Using a greyscale image and a selection spot color I was able to create the image below, but this is not what I want, as it still has greyscale within the color section.

I realize I could create two separate images and layer them in indesign, but I was wondering if it was possible to do it all in photoshop.

Thanks so much!

(note: this is not the image I am using, just a random image pulled from the web)

To create a new spot channel select  »New Spot Channel« from the Channels Panel’s flyout menu.

You may want to ask your print service provider about trapping, though.

it may not be necessary but in case it is the necessary amount effectively depends on the machine.
