I'm not sure you can with Quark. Unless someone corrects me, Quark only
knows how to take a colorized tiff and separate it in process.

I recently preflighted a catalog for a client who had colorized (black to
white) a tiff in Quark 5 and Acrobat 6. The image would not rip correctly,
although it did in Acrobat 5.

You may have to use Photoshop to create a spot color duotone, then import it
into Quark.

I hope this helps.

Subject: [PDF-Basics] Quark 4.1 doc with spot colors to PDF


PDF-Basics is a service provided by PDFzone.com | http://www.pdfzone.com/
__________________________________________________________________

I have a Quark 4.1 doc which utilizes 3 inks: 2 pantone and black.

The doc contains a grayscale tiff file that has been colored in Quark using
the two pantone inks: one for the background and one for the image itself.

Problem
When I make a pdf of this file, the pdf shows the image to be composed of
cmyk, not the two spots specified in quark.
I have tried saving the page as an eps with DCS 2 specified and then
distilling that, but the results are the same.

How do I make a viable pdf with true spot separations?

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
