I made a black and wie post card
i exported it to PDF > Pdf preset = commercial printing
i sent it to a online comerial printer
He is telling me that the black is in all CMYK channels and that it has te be only in the K channel > C=0%, M=0%, Y=0%, K=100% .... How to do ?
Welcome to TalkGraphics
Exporting just as K is not a good idea because a CMYK image uses a small amount of CMY to make the black denser and richer. So if you just use the black plate, any photo images will be washed out.
Does your postcard have any photos or is it all type?
CMYK 0%0%0%100% its for text (sharp print).
If you have black text in project it must be set to CMYK 0% 0% 0% 100%.
Sorry for my English :)
