I have a 4 color piece that I have changed all the colors to pantone's. I can print plates 2-4 fine - however the 1st plate (which shows correctly on my screen), which is a pantone black, will not print no matter what I do....I am only getting about 2 percent of the artwork on plate 1 to print....I have no idea what I'm doing wrong, I've tried to resize the piece thinking that it was related to paper size but that doesn't fix the problem. Anyone have any ideas?? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Clarify please - 2% meaning very light halftone screen or large sections of the solid art is missing?

Try copying the art to new file (so nothing happens to original) then get rid of the other colors or objects in the file. Leaving only the black areas.

Can you then see & print the Black as it should be. Do you see other colors that were hiding? Then delete them until only black is left to print.

Hope this helped.

When you go to print, print seperations, Print preview do you see all the seps?

I had the same problem with this 3 color sep. a couple of days ago, for some reason the text had to be welded and make sure every element in the desiegn is in pantone.
