Hi, just playing around with spot colors and run into this problem. tested with 23.04.2012 and ??.11.2011, same result. the color definition leads to an invalid pdf. % multitone.tex---- \nopdfcompression \setuppagenumber[state=stop] \definemultitonecolor[combicolor] [blue=.12,yellow=.28] [c=.1,m=.1,y=.3,k=.1] \starttext \null \stoptext %------------------ I also attached the original example (spot.tex). Best wishes, Peter

You need to define the colorants as spot color first. It happens that yellow is an official built in colorant but blue isn't. \nopdfcompression \definecolor [xcyan] [c=1] \definecolor [xmagenta][m=1] \definecolor [xyellow] [y=1] \definespotcolor [scyan] [xcyan] [p=1] \definespotcolor [smagenta][xmagenta][p=1] \definespotcolor [syellow] [xyellow] [p=1] \definemultitonecolor[scombi] [xcyan=.2,xmagenta=.4,xyellow=.6][c=.2,m=.4,y=.6] \startTEXpage \hbox \bgroup \blackrule[color=scyan, width=1cm,height=1cm,depth=0cm]% \blackrule[color=smagenta,width=1cm,height=1cm,depth=0cm]% \blackrule[color=syellow, width=1cm,height=1cm,depth=0cm]% \blackrule[color=scombi, width=1cm,height=1cm,depth=0cm]% \egroup \stopTEXpage ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

OK. I simply used the multitone example (spot.tex) from the Wiki. http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Colors#Multitones I have updated the outdated example (12/2004), but I can't tell much about spot or multitone colors (never used them). @all: feel free to add some sentences Peter

I've added a catch and issue a warning when something is wrong.
