[xep-support] Spotcolor

[Niek Mentink]

Sorry, I wasn't clear about that. I didn't just convert the images
indeed, but created a spot color channel in Photoshop. It might be that
I did this wrong (there are many ways, and many export option), but I've
tried several ways and looked at tutorials like the one on:
http://graphicssoft.about.com/od/photoshop/ss/spotcolors.htm

Can I assume that XEP is capable of dealing with this?

Niek,

I don't think this is a XEP issue. You must create the artwork from
scratch in a software that supports spot color (e.g. Illustrator,
Freehand etc) and when you do you need to apply spot color correctly (as
opposed to CMYK color). You won't get spot color by merely converting an
image into another image file format.
