^ If you place a PSD in InDesign, it appears as rasterized image even if you have vectors inside of it.
There are multiple workarounds:
1: Flat your figure in the PSD file to one layer with transparent background, then make a color fill layer with a clipping mask, 100% black (not #000, but C0 M0 Y0 B100) then convert it to a greyscale image and then convert it to a duplex with one full-tone color. Tell the printer to use that color as varnish.2. If you have the vector elements, copy them to your InDesign file and give it a new full tone color.
With 1 your InDesign Colors should look like this:
With 2 make sure to select 'full tone' when making the new color.
Also your new full-tone colors must appear in Acrobat, if not, you done something wrong.
