There is a background image which is a full bleed photo (forget the original Duotone for the time being, I'm now working with a simple greyscale image). The work in question (a letterhead) consists of a table drawn out in Illustrator, and imported into InDesign where some text has been added.

It made me realise that (weirdly) I have never been required to send a 2 colour PDF to print. I used to just package the ID project, but the printer I'm using for this job is a bit old and rubbish. If it isn't there to view which colours are being used on a particular job, what is its function? I think what I'm asking is for somebody to explain what the hell the ink manager does, 'cause it's confusing me. 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?Р”Р„s far as the design is concerned, the colour palette in InDesign only has Black, White, Registration and the 2 colours used on the job. The CMYK channels are surplus to the job in question. 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 question is this: How do I create a 2 color job in ID and export it via PDF without any other colour channels? I think that maybe I've confused the matter slightly. Then your text can only be that pantone or black when you go to set up your layout/InDesign file. If you start taking colors out, when more exist in your doc, you are going to have color issues like having them not print correctly, for example.Р”Р„re you printing duotone? Then set any raster images in duotone and use the pantone as the color, black as the other color. Only include the two colors you want in your design. To export 2 colors, you can export just those colors, but the easiest way to do that is to first DESIGN it that way. Why would you set CMYK to transparent? If you have CMYK in your doc, that's what's going to print, and the printer will have to use their 5 or 6 color press for your job. As it is, CMYK printing + 1 Pantone sounds a little bit excessive unless it's a corporate client who absolutely has to have their corporate color print correctly. You might want to 'Preflight' your layout from InDesign first and see if you have any extra Pantones in there you don't want. Sounds like you have 2 Pantone colors, not one. But many printers use the PDF-X1a standard because of the way it handles color and raster and vector images as well. You need to ask whomever's printing the document what they require.
