Hi,
I'm trying to create a postscript file from InDesign CS3 that contains only 1 color. But for some
reason, even if I turn off all the inks I don't want, when it gets to the 'print' command it turns
the CMYK inks back on so the Postscript file contains not 1 color but 5 colors.
Is it supposed to do that? Or am I just coding this wrong? Here's my code (at the moment
running on OS 10.5.1 but will be testing in Tiger later). As you can see I only want to use any
ink that starts with 'RF.' (which should always end up being only 1 ink).
Thanks for looking at my question.
