[quote Seacrest][quote pixelzombie]some rips can't handle the duotone format from photoshop.
This is why it's a best practice to create the "duotone" of two process colors, ie: K and Y.
Most likely it's what the prepress people do once they get your files anyway.
Film is film.
It has no "color."
it actually depends on what the printer asks for.....i've sent files both ways, one with the information in 2 process channels and one with white for the process and the duotone with spot colors....btw, Y is the last channel you would use for any duotone work...
