Thanks for your feedback! The problem is that the people "those
responsible for layout" are us... We are doing the book in Latex, and
till now did not need any other software.
But I am scared we will need use kind of Indesign & co softwares to be
able to use our R plots, since R can't export into spotcolor...
Thanks!

Hi
We are about to publish a book, which contains figures made with R
plots. An important detail that we did not take into account is that the
book will not be printed in 4 colors (cmyk mode), but only 2 (black
+"spotcolor"). The spotcolor we use is part of the big Pantone family.
The problem is that both pdf() and postscript() offer either rgb or
cmyk, but no spotcolors such as pantone. I'm afraid this constraint
can't be solved at all, and we can't use R for creating these plots? I
did not find any package that would extend the colormodel to include
spot colors... Did anyone had a similar experience?
Hi Matthieu,
I have occasionally had to handle this. In every case, those
responsible for the actual layout would take grayscale figures (black,
white and some gray level) and then convert the gray level to the
desired color in the illustrations. I have always supplied Postscript
in these cases.
