You'll have to wait for Kool or Key or Mag, the separation masters

Are you having the problem at only one print vendor or several? Onshore or off?

Let's say the job is Black and PMS blue. Just make the duotone image using 100% black and the pms blue as the secondary colour. The eps gets converted because CMYK is the colour language most printers speak. Same with the monotone image...it's better to make the colour one that you'll be printing with in the final rendition.

Are the files embedded in Illus. If they are they will convert to 4/c - - when placing images make sure that the link option is checked.

Try this and also make sure that the PANTONE names are spelled the same way Illus. you should be o.k. - -but if you place in a layout application this where you need to make sure that the name is exact

If working in large format (grande format digital) DO NOT EVER CHANGE THE COLOR NAMES in a file.
