I am designing a food wrapper and need to print 4 color process plus around 1-3 spot colors. I am attaching a design and have a process color image that needs to fade into the spot color orange background. What is the best way to set this up so it will seperate properly? I am basically using Photoshop and Illustrator to setup the artwork.

Hi Kevin, welcome to the forum. Just make sure that everything that is supposed to be CMYK is CMYK and everything that is supposed to be a spot color is a spot color. Your printer shouldn't have any trouble separating them. There's thread pinned in the resources section about preparing files for printing. Give it a glance.

I just wanted to comment on your design.
It's great man. I really like it.
Oh and for the prepress stuff Kool works doing Prepress so whatever he says goes.

Thanks for the answers. What I am specifically looking for is in Photoshop. In my design you can see an orange background and there is a picture of the inside of an orange that fades into the orange background. How do I setup that file so that it is in CMYK format for the image and a Spot color for the orange background all in the same photoshop file. The rest of the file will be pieced together in illustrator.Comment

Today, 07:35 PMCommented to For anyone wanting to jump the Adobe CC ship...It's funny, I just rebuilt an Quark file into InDesign, popped in here and this is the first thread I see. At this point Quark would do us absolutely no good. And it wouldn't work for me at home.
