I wanted to add some tints to the design. I grabbed the color and added it as swatch in InDesign. The only logo I was provided for the design was a process CMYK JPG. I suppose that would work for position only but I thought it was somewhat useless.
#MICROSOFT PUBLISHER PREPRESS PSPP PDF#
All he did was create a low res PDF from my Indesign file. Perhaps the prepress guy was doing his job correctly, and gave you a proof based on the intention of the native file. usually if you go through the trouble of specifying a spot color in a document, converting it to CMYK for final output is self-defeating. Im curious if the workorder spec'd this was a 4c process job, or the prepress guy gave you a proof with the spot build because thats how the doc was built.
I've already spoken to them about testing and they're interested. The proof made no sense for a 4C digital job). The proof they sent back showed a 5th color. The proof they sent back to me was made from my native doc (I could tell because I used a spot build in my InDesign doc which I specifically converted to process in my PDF. I told them I could provide the native docs but I prefer they use the PDF/X I would be supplying. They told me all they needed was the native source docs. I contacted the printer I was told to send it to and asked what specs they wanted (What flavor of PDF/X, ICC profile, etc.).
