How to design a "white" background in "black and white" ad on pink newsprint?

Long-time Indesigner here, but I have never had this dilemma before. Am designing a "black and white" newpaper ad for a major paper that has a pink section, i.e. it prints on pink newsprint. So I know this is black ink only, hence the "black and white"...but when the "white of regular newsprint is pink, I am getting stumped. I see in their rate card ads with a white background and black ink on top of the pink newsprint, which is what I want to do. The ad has facial tones of a major recording artist, and I do not want the highlights of her face going pink. So how to I ad a "white" layer underneath this ad? Deadline is now, so please reply ASAP. I have inquiries into the paper but it is the weekend and nobody is getting back to me.

Have they got a rate card: Check it! It may list a "white knockout advert" rate. I think:
that to overprint adverts onto pink is limiting i think its a separation (unless they only want/cater for 1 colour (black) ads) unlike yellow pages where the the standard directory colours are blue, green, red and black (err... obv because of the yellow paper...) yellow pages also offer white knockout adverts (then yellow available) and CMYK adverts.
So: you got to make sure that the advert is designed per spec: as you may know designing for newsprint is a lot more technical than gloss mags/sheet fed etc. You can always see in a newspaper who (designer) got it wrong.
All the info should be on the rate card: just check the CI too: as white knockout may be a lot more expensive.

    Upgraded to Mavericks now iTunes screen is a negative. Background is black and titles etc. are white. How do I reverse it?

    Hello Tarpon471,
    It sounds like your desktop is otherwise colored normally, but the colors in iTunes are inverted. I was thinking it is possible that a 3rd party plugin may be causing an issue with iTunes since the upgrade to Mavericks.

  • Laserjet 2605dn - how do I turn it into a black and white only printer?

    How do I turn it into a black and white only printer?
    I just bought ink replacement for a whopping $563 which is way too much. My ink supplies have run out. I replaced the Balck ink but the printer is stuck in the "replace supplies" error w/ orange light flashing.  Is there any way to re-configure the printer to only use as a B/W printer?

    Found myself in the same boat. Try this link, worked for me

    As for printing in B&W only, I don't think this printer has that capability, at least from what I've read.

  • How to force photosmart 6180 to print black and white only

    I think the subject says it all. I would like to know how I can force my photosmart 6180 all-in-one to print black and white.

    Hi Rod
    For the PS C6180 you should have an option in the print settings to Print in Grayscale, see step three in the link below

  • How do I set my printer to black and white ONLY?

    I have an HP Photosmart All-In-One C4480.  I don't want to have to buy color cartridges, because I only need black and white, and I have three black and white cartridges already.  How do I set the printer to print my documents in black and white only?
    Thanks,
    TW

    Hi,
    Follow the steps below to print using Black Ink only:
    1. From the application used to print, click the File menu and select Print. The Print window appears.
    NOTE: The Print window might be minimized: Click the Show Details button to see all available settings.
    2. To access the color options, click the lowest selection box listed as the name of the program (e.g. TextEdit)
    Will appear as Copies & Pages within Microsoft Office applications.
    3. Select Paper Type/Quality from the drop-down menu.
    4. Click the triangle next to Color Options to expend the settings.
    5. Set the Color field as Grayscale.
    6. Set the Grayscale Mode as Black Ink Cartridge Only.
    You may save the settings for future use by clicking Presets > Save Current Settings as Preset...
    Any used preset will remain default so simply select teh standard preset to print in color.

  • Whatssap background photo black and white

    For the life of me I can't figure this out and it is driving me bananas!!!!!
    Just a little while a go the picture I have on the background of my chat windows on whatssap messenger turned black and white.
    Here is everything I tried to get it back to color:
    change the picture to another color picture
    reset the wall paper withing whatssap chat settings and then select a totally different color picture
    shut down app and re-start
    shut down iphone and re-start
    reset iphone and re-start
    delete whatssap messenger and reinstall, after reinstall select a totally different color picture
    None of these render my chat background picture to be in color.  It is in black and white.
    My last resort would be to put the iphone back to factory settings but I want to avoid that as I have a 64 gig iphone full of stuff and it will take a long time to re-insert the backup.
    Any help will be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.

    RESOLVED!!!
    Solution from the whatssap developers:
    A grayscale chat wallpaper is usually caused by having "Darken Colors" enabled in the Increase Contrast settings (iPhone Settings > General > Accessibility > Increase Contrast).
    The next version of WhatsApp for iPhone will retain the wallpaper's color while the Darken Colors setting is enabled. Until then, please leave this setting disabled, or choose a black and white chat wallpaper. Unfortunately we cannot comment on any future timelines, sorry.

  • How do I add selective color to black and white photo?

    New to Photoshop Elements 12.  How do I add selective color to a black and white photo?

    The easiest way is to use the Smart Brush tool in Expert tab.
    On the tool's option bar, in the drop-down select "Revers Effects", then select the "Reverse" option. Be sure that "Inverse" is ticked.
    Paint over the object that is to retain color, the rest will become b/w.

  • HT204135 This is my first iMac. How come everything I print is in black and white? I have an HP Photosmart and it prints in color just fine except when I print using the iMac.

    Unlike my other computers where I can change the printer setup ( color, black and white, paper type etc) I don't see that option on the iMac.  Is it called somethng else? I want to retire my old computer but can't until I can print in color.

    Thank you, I did that, after I click "show details" I see where I can change the paper size, reverse print etc. but I'm not seeing an option to swtich to color. On my HP and IBM PC's I can click on printer properties and change the print quality, paper type ( e.g.photo), grayscale and such. Do you by chance know if this is not an available feature on iMacs or maybe my printer isn't iMac friendly?

  • How to determine actual colors in a black and white photo?

    I'm not sure if I'm in the right section, but I'm wondering if it's possible to use an Adobe program to restore actual colors in a black and white photo? I don't want add color by imagining or guessing; I need to determine the real colors. This might not even be possible, but if it is, please tell me what I can use.
    Thank you.

    That's where the artistry comes into play when they colorize old movies.
    A lady wears a nice dress:  is it greeen or purple?  It looks gray.
    A baby comes home from the hospital cute new baby clothes: pink or blue?  They look light gray.
    That's a nice school tie that guy's wearing: use the wrong colors on the stripes, and he's at a different school.  But they're nothing more than varying shades of gray.
    If there's one thing missing in a B&W photograph, it's any vestige of color information.   All you have is gray scale.   You may NEED to determine the real colors, but without a color photograph to use as a reference image, you're out of luck.

  • How do you make a color image black and white

    I looked at the Adjust Image tool, but I could not see an easy way to make the color picture turn into black and white.
    Yes I realize I could go back into iPhoto and do that. I don't want to do that.
    In Word there is an image control that allows you to do various things with the image, including going to grayscale.

    Thanks Walt. That indeed was easy. I had tride saturation before, but didn't get all the way left, so it just looked washed out. I decided, wrongly it appears, that it would not do as I needed. Thank you. I just wish something like that could have been in the help file or PDF.
    I think once I get the hang of the nuances, this program will really rock. Its just taking longer than I anticipated. I mean, it is an Apple program---so I was counting on a lot more intuitive steps.
