Blend between two spot colors expanding as process!!!

[Joe_Ciaramella@adobeforums.com]

Hi folks,

I have two shapes that are blended together (using the blend tool) - each a different spot color - and I need to expand before sending to vendors. But, the problem is, when I expand the blend, it seps out as process - which I can't have.

Any insight as to how I can fix this???

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Thanks in advance...

Try changing it to a spot color gradient instead. I have never had any luck with spot color blends, they always change to CMYK.

I don't even know if it's possible for a blend to stay a spot color.

to succesfully blend two spot color, you need to create a special
graphic style on both end of the blend. For each you create a
double-fill color with each spot, starting from 0% to 100% and the
opposite for the other spot, the top one overprint the other. Then blend
it.

Sinc emy englis is not very good, take a look at this simple example
