I would like to know how to export a 2 color *.cdr creation (logo) as an *.eps such that it has two grey scale layers each representing the two spot colors I chose?
You'll need to specify what colors you want.
I mean, add separate sport color to both.
By exporting your object/s that are only Gray.. it will show up as gray...
I did pick a pan 299c blu and black for the logo. I used the Models to blend between the blu and black to get a greyer blu being carefull not to alter any other setting. When I export for eps I get all these options to pick from not knowing what to pick. When I open the saved to eps in Adobe Photoshop there are no layers. Everything shows up full color as in Corel OK. Am I missing something or is the printer that rejected my eps not knowing how to extract the grey scales? I would like to see the grey scale files too. One for Black and one for 299c Pan
I'm a little confused with your explanation, Ken.
So I'm not sure if this information will be helpful or not.
But if your using a spot palette, you can set your seperation options in Corel and then save (print to file) a .ps file.
I don't know what happens to it when you bring it into PhotoShop, but I do know, for sure, if you import that .ps file back into Corel, you'll get each color (each color sep) on a separate page.

ThanksWhile it is nice to have it come back to corel it still does not solve the problem of giving it to a printer that wants the output in two grey scale files that represent the two spot colors. Maybe I am using the wrong format eps. So lets start over. How do I output two grey scale files that a printer can use to make plates from that represent the two colors I picked, Black and Pan 273c. Something still is missing here.
As I said Ken, I don't know enough about PS to give you any solid advice about that program.
But I do know, you can do exactly as I outlined above.
Make sure your using a Pantone palette to insure you're only getting 2 plates (if you don't use spot colors, it's still possible t but it will involve a lot more work)
Select your postscript printer (if you don't have one, use Corel's default ps printer)
Go to the sep tab/pre-press tab and set your parameters
Then go back and Print (save to .ps file)
If you've set your 2 sep plates properly, when you import that .ps file back into Corel it will come in on 2 separate pages............one for each color.
From there, all you'd need to do is save each page as a separate eps file...............if that's what your printer requires.
Can he use a pdf as well?
