    First thing I would say is DON'T. Photoshop is a printing nightmare, especially for logos. Printers will need to "pinch" the paths, and for trapping, forget about it. Could be an expensive prepress run. But, if you need to, you will need to convert the file to a multichannel mode, and add your pms colors where need be. Then when you save it (this is where it gets a little weird), you will save it as a photoshop dcs formatted file. It will actually end up being an eps. I would recommends that you import it into a layout app like quark to make sure that the pms' show in the color palette.

    Very tricky procedure. Email me if you need specifics.

    Good luck!
