I've created a duotone in PS using 541 Blue and Black. When I bring it into Pagemaker it will print the Blue plate, but it doesn't show up on the Black, -- all of the black text shows up fine .

I've printed duotones out of Illustrator and Quark just fine but PM doesn't want to work for me.

Any secrets I'm missing?

Did you save it as EPS?

You need to save a duotone as DSC2 which is a flavor of EPS file.

I don't remember doing that, but it's been a long time.

DCS2.0 binary encoding and tiff preview. Composite color preview or 
something like that, it's been too long

DCS2.0 not available in the Save dialog. Only Photoshop, EPS, Photoshop PDF and RAW...

I remember needing that for spot channels, but duotone? Oh well, way too 
long ago to remember.

Thankfully all I need to remember now is PSD or PDF.

Bob's right that was for multichannel. I hate most duotones, so I rarely 
used them.

Sounds like it's a 16 bit image. Change it to 8 bit.

Yeah but so is Pagemaker. Eps and Pagemaker were a good combo back in 
the day. I know mine was a minority opinion.

There's this in the FAQs:

Some of it is obsolete (you can probably ignore the screen angle issue with any modern RIP), but I just did a quick test with Photoshop CS2 and PM7 and it separated correctly on our RIP.
