    Default Importing Monotone photoshop file into Illustrator

    I have saved a photo in Photoshop as a one color photo (monotone). I then place it in my Illustrator document, which is a two-color document with one of the colors being the same as the photo. However when I go to print separations, it make the photo CMYK. Why. Help!

    All duotones (monotones too) must remain linked at ALL times within a Illustrator document. Once you embed a duotone, it will take on the color mode that you have set in the Illustrator document.

    Yes, I did save it as an EPS. Thank you so much. I've spend several hours trying to figure this out. And now I find out the printer is going to pring the job in cmyk anyway! But at least I learned something.
    thanks again,
