| Kind of. I think that maybe I've confused the matter slightly...
The question is this: How do I create a 2 color job in ID and export it via PDF without any other colour channels?
I'm getting confused by the ink manager... When I export the job and look in the ink manager (advanced PDF settings) there are the standard CMYK plus the 2 colours I have actually used on the job. The CMYK channels are surplus to the job in question. So, shouldn't the ink manager JUST show the two colours that I have actually used (rather than 6 colours)? Or does it always show the CMYK channels, regardless of the fact that there are no process colours being used?
As far as the design is concerned, the colour palette in InDesign only has Black, White, Registration and the 2 colours used on the job.
I think what I'm asking is for somebody to explain what the hell the ink manager does, 'cause it's confusing me. If it isn't there to view which colours are being used on a particular job, what is its function?
I used to just package the ID project, but the printer I'm using for this job is a bit old and rubbish. It made me realise that (weirdly) I have never been required to send a 2 colour PDF to print.
Thanks very much for your reply BTW.
