Spot underplate?

Okay, I'm not sure underplate is the right word:
I'm putting together a design for a coffeemug.  The mugs that we're printing on are blue, so they're going to print white onto the mug.  So I've set up my logo and text as a spot white plate in InDesign.  The mug also will have a photo on it, and I think it'd be good to print white underneath the photo so that the lighter areas of the photo don't end up tinted blue.  (I've been asking for confirmed specs but can't get a straight answer.)  I can't figure out how to create that though.  I made a spot white square the size of the photo and put it behind it.  Of course, that doesn't actually show up as a separation since the photo is on top of it.  How can I tell InDesign I want that separation even though it's behind an object?
Question make sense?
Thanks, Phyllis

So Rob,
Just in case you're still out there.....  I noticed one fluke with using the multiply effect on the overprinted underplate (<- hope I worded that right).  When I create separations from Illustrator, there's a slight cutout in my underplate where there's a logo in the InDesign file.  I can't figure out why that is, but I don't think it'll affect the printing (do you?).  And since that makes no sense, take a look at the separations:
http://goo.gl/703cxg
Page 5 is the white underplate -- you can see a little bit of a logo inside that black square (that logo is a placed vector file on top of the photograph in the design).  I'm not sure why that is, but I'm guessing it's not enough to matter in terms of the printing process itself (?).  Thoughts?  Overall setup seem like it'll work well?
Thanks, Phyllis

    I need to be able to send it to a PC in order to print it.

    Hard to say what is happening without examining the file.
    If you like click on my blue name and email me both the .pages file and the the .pdf you have made from it.

    ps It would help to say what version of Pages you are using and on what you are running it. iOS or Mac and what version.

  • BADI/EXIT/Enhancement spot in during creation of PO to edit Vendor partner

    Hello,
    I am looking for BADI/EXIT/Enh. spot to edit the vendor partner during creation of a PO.
    Due to some business requirement we maintained multiple vendor partner( for same role like goods supplier) in the vendor master and for such cases during creation of PO it throws a pop-up to choose one of the partners. However, in some cases, I have to select a particular vendor partner based on some other field value, and suppress the pop-up.  So to choose the right vendor partner I need a suitable location where I can put my program logic.
    Looking forward to your replies...
    Thanks in advance.
    Best Regards,
    Amarjit Singh

    By now I am unable to test this BADI to see which data is retrieved and the moment that this happens. But the popup that you mentioned is a Z routine ?? If yes couldn't  you put your logic there?

  • Photoshop CS6 - Spot channels are not saved correctly in the psd files.

    Hi,
    I'm using Photoshop CS6 and something happent a few days ago....some Windows or Adobe update messed up everything...I don't know...
    Here's how things are.
    If I add to an image a couple of new spot channels (any Pantone color) and remove the informations from the CMYK channels (or not-the problem it's there anyway), I should have an image with 6 color plates (CMYK and the 2 Pantone). It doesn't happened anymore...
    I'm using Corel to print the files and the previous saved files are fine, I have all the Spot colors there. Now, If I edit any file I've worked on before, and save it again, the spot colors dissapear when I'm importing the psd file in my Corel document. And if there is no information on the CMYK channels, I'm getting a blank image...
    I hope someone will give me some ideas because I don't know what to do anymore...
    Codrut

    Right. It's not reading these new saved files correctly. The old ones are fine.
    I forgot to mention one thing. I've got this CS6 as an upgrade and I still have the CS5 one running on the same computer. The CS5 version does the same thing...
    Today I tryed again to open a PSD (CS6) with another CS5 version from another computer and came with an error message "Could not complete your request because the specified color book cannot be found". And the file didn't opened....
    Who messed up my color book and how can I fix it?

  • Did they take out the free section, you know where they might offer a free episode/song/video/etc in one spot (or at least did they for Canada)? I can find the english song of the week, but that is it...

    Did they take out the free section, you know where they might offer a free episode/song/video/etc in one spot (or at least did they for Canada)? I can find the english song of the week (I used to enjoy browsing both the english and french), but that is it...

    Nevermind. For some reason it loaded wrong/poorly/? It was back after I closed itunes down and re-opened it.
    Thanks though

  • Automation plugin: how to select a spot channel when 2 channels have the same name?

    I have a CMYK document opened in photoshop. In "CHANNELS" panel, I just added 2 spot colors with the same name "Sport Color 1".
    As I click any of the spot channel to select it, the "Listener" plugin will output some c++ code like below:
    SPErr PlayeventSelect(/*your parameters go here*/void)
         PIActionDescriptor result = NULL;
         DescriptorTypeID runtimeKeyID;
         DescriptorTypeID runtimeTypeID;
         DescriptorTypeID runtimeObjID;
         DescriptorTypeID runtimeEnumID;
         DescriptorTypeID runtimeClassID;
         DescriptorTypeID runtimePropID;
         DescriptorTypeID runtimeUnitID;
         SPErr error = kSPNoError;
         // Move this to the top of the routine!
         PIActionDescriptor desc0000000000003980 = NULL;
         error = sPSActionDescriptor->Make(&desc0000000000003980);
         if (error) goto returnError;
              // Move this to the top of the routine!
              PIActionReference ref0000000000001A48 = NULL;
              error = sPSActionReference->Make(&ref0000000000001A48);
              if (error) goto returnError;
              error = sPSActionReference->PutName(ref0000000000001A48, classChannel, "Spot Color 1");
              if (error) goto returnError;
         error = sPSActionDescriptor->PutReference(desc0000000000003980, keyNull, ref0000000000001A48);
         if (error) goto returnError;
         error = sPSActionControl->Play(&result, eventSelect, desc0000000000003980, plugInDialogSilent);
         if (error) goto returnError;
    returnError:
         if (result != NULL) sPSActionDescriptor->Free(result);
         if (desc0000000000003980 != NULL) sPSActionDescriptor->Free(desc0000000000003980);
         if (ref0000000000001A48 != NULL) sPSActionReference->Free(ref0000000000001A48);
         return error;
    You can see "PutName" add the channel name "Spot Color 1" to reference, and I think it will not work correctly if I add such code to my project since PS cannot differentiate the 2 channels only by name. Can anyone tell me if there's any other method for selecting spot channel? Thanks in advance.

    Hi
    Here is the something from docs tht you may find usefull.
    Tryusing index instead of name:
    SPAPI OSErr(*
    PutIndex )(PIActionReference ref, DescriptorClassIDdesiredClass, uint32 value)
    Puts an index into a reference (formIndex) along with the desired class for the reference.
    Unfortunately I dont have C++ here to try i just used definition from docs.
    Hope that this help.

  • Display custom error message in enhancement spots

    Hi all,
    Is there someone here who've encountered having the need to display custom error message in an enhancement spot? Could you help me please.. I can't find any reference from the net.
    Thanks in advance
    Regards,
    Aris

    Hi,
    The error message can be only displayed in enhancement spots based on thr program flow.
    You have to determine where its getting called for ex: in PBO or PAI etc.....
    You have to find the right place to display the error messages . for ex: using a memory id ......

  • Looking for help with movie loading in a different spot every time page reloads.

    Hello,
    I have a Flash movie that I need to jump to a one of 6 chosen frames when say a user hits the back button or home in the site. I just dont want the same user seeing the flash movie replay in the same spot everytime they go back to home.
    ANY help with this is appreciated.
    Thanks ahead of time.

    Here is what I have scripted:
    var numbers:Array = [2,114,415,687,960,1195,1485];
    _root.firstTime = true;
    if(firstTime) {
        firstTime = false;
        var frame:Number = Math.floor(Math.random() * numbers.Length);
        gotoAndPlay(numbers[frame]);
    I have also tried this:
    Array.prototype.shuffle = function() {
    for (var ivar = this.length-1; ivar>=0; ivar--) {
    var p = random(ivar+1);
    var t = this[ivar];
    this[ivar] = this[p];
    this[p] = t;
    ASSetPropFlags(Array.prototype, ["shuffle"], 1, 1);
    var Array_ar:Array = new Array(2,114,415,687,960,1195,1485);
    Array_ar.shuffle();
    index = 0;
    function load_random() {
    gotoAndPlay(Array_ar[index++]);
    if (index == Array_ar.length) {
    (index=0);
    load_random();
    But this keep jumping to frame 1 each time i hit back or refresh.
    Thanks again.

    That did not work. It loops back to the frame that it first loaded to not to frame 1 the beginning.
    It tried putting gotoAndPlay(numbers[frame]); on the very last frame, then I made a new keyframe after the very last frame and neither worked.

  • IPhone 5s weird colored spots come up while using App Store

    Hello, i've just started using my new iPhone and i've noticed that when i'm in app store inside my wish-list and scrolling it down, i see strange colored spots, yellow, grey, blue... The fact is that it doesn't seem to be a display problem, because i've taken the screenshot of it and i can  see the spots there too. Anybody else is having the same issue?

    Never mind, it's because of the whishlist trasparency, the icons you have below make the blurred spots haha...

  • How to create a simple spot the difference game

    Hi everyone. I'm new to the forums and relatively new to flash, so bear with me
    I'm looking to do a very simple spot the difference game using flash CS3 and actionscript 2 for a school project.
    As it stands, I have 2 images on separate layers on a timeline in the same frame, which has been paused using the 'stop' command. I am looking to have around 4 differences that, when clicked, will be recorded at the bottom of the screen.
    The problem is, I am unable to find a way to get the differences recorded at the bottom in the order the user finds them, where each one is entered when the user clicks it, leaving gaps for those that haven't been found.
    Being only a basic user, I am only familiar with scenes and basic timeline controls, and i'm hoping there's a relatively simple way of achieving this. However I am perfectly comfortable with using more complex actionscript, having done some programming before.
    Thanks in advance,
    Laurence

    Thanks so much for all your help
    Just one last thing about the 'if' script you gave me, what do i replace 'somemovieclip' with if I've already definied the movie clips I want to be monitored? Also, do I put that script on the frame? If not, where? It just doesn't work properly at the moment (skips straight to the completion frame even though the movie clips are hidden at the start) and i'm not sure about those things ^
    Sorry to be of more trouble

  • How do I use mono and 1 spot colour for print, where the spot colour applies to an element, rather than the whole image?

    I am struggling to work with spot colours, using scanned images edited in Photoshop for use in InDesign to then go to print.
    We print to two plates to save money for our publication. In this case magenta and black.
    I could use the spot colour mode but that works with curves and I only want a certain part magenta. Imagine a business card with a gloss finish where I only want to apply it to certain part ie the name of the employee, using a curve would match a certain shade therefore this method would be unsuitable.
    I have also tried using channels, one grayscale and one magenta, but using the file types either InDesign bugs or it comes out in mono.
    It isn't possible to recreate the logo in InDesign, if only it was this easy...
    If someones already discussed this, I can't find it, but if someone could point me in the right direction—I'd be very grateful!
    Using Photoshop CS4, InDesign CS4. Access to Adobe Cloud at home...

    I'm assuming at least some people on here must have experience of the Scintilla control for creating a Notepad++ type application. I'd like to use this control, unfortunately there is very little in the way of documentation or working examples
