OK, this is weird, my printer calls yesterday and says all the monotone .eps images I provided are actually CMYK and won't be seen by the film out put machine, so please provide all the images in greyscale. I look at the files on my computer and they're all monotones. I convert to greyscale and burn a disk. Today I drop it off and look at the originals on his comp, all monotone. He takes all the grayscale images and changes the illy files to greyscale. It's a one color job.
this must be a software issue on his part because most jobs, he says, happen like this. Anybody have this happen to them?

photos converted to monotones in PS, saved as .eps then placed in illy. All objects and text in the illy are now pantone 369u. I get a call that all my images are CMYK. I open in PS and all are monotones. The illy files are saved as .eps as are all the PSDs.
Printer says there a bug in PS that won't allow PSDs to be saved as monotones(?) only CMYK(not monotones). He says this will be fixed in the next version of PS.
Sounds fishy, I'm not buying it. His son is the pre-press guy so I'm thinking he's just young and confused.

thats way fishy. eps monotones have been passed on to printers for years.
ive never sent a one color job to a printer with a placed eps in illy, sso i cant say for sure. i usually use quark as the assembly tool.
good luck man

Yeah I chalked it up to the young guy. He may not have the knowledge. I know my files were pretty tight as almost the exact same job went there 6 mos. ago without any problems. Thanks for the interest.
