Question
Hi - I have a mailing piece that I've created in Photoshop and the printer says I've set it up for 4 color...and I need to change it to 2 color.  I am clueless as to what i should do to fix this

Answer
Hi Margot,
am afraid you will have to redo it using only two colors only.
You have to redesign without using drop shadows or gradations, it has to be solid colors everywhere and only two colors to be used.
