    The best way to do it is create a multichannel doc (under the image mode menu). Then create a spot chanell using the channel palette. You will need to spec out a PMS Blue, like say 300 or whatever you feel is best. Then, to save the file, you will need to save it as a photoshop DCS formatted file. Don;t worry, this basically makes this into an .eps. To check to make sure that the PMS is showing corrctly from a raster doc, import it into a new Quark or Indd doc and see if the pms pops into the color palette.

    Let me know if this helps. The only other way to do it, is convert the blue to 100% Cyan, and then tell the printer what PMS you want to use instead of Cyan.
