Hi, I�m trying to create a two color job in InDesign that will be black and red. The problem I have is that our imagesetter is not separating the colors.

I was told that the red color needs to be a spot color in InDesign for the imagesetter to know to separate the colors. Otherwise, if the colors are not set as a spot color then it sends the file as CMYK separations or grayscale separations.

The question I have is how can I change the images (and text) in my InDesign file to be set as a spot color? Thanks in advance.
