Added overprint=yes tip from Hans
To produce a file ready for a clean PDF separation process at your print house, start with:
<cmd>setupcolors</cmd><tt>[rgb=no,cmyk=noyes,spot=yes,state=start,overprint=yes]</tt>
which will set things up for spot colors only, no RGB or with CMYK allowed. The last setting ensures that black overprinting your spot colour tints will not knock out the colour - this is important for some types of commercial printing. Then define your basic spot colour. Note that this the name cannot contain spaces or numbers(but we come to that later):
<cmd>definecolor</cmd><tt>[PantoneTwoNineFour][c=1,m=.56,y=0,k=.18]</tt>
