TL;DR: This guide written by Brian Mee (member of British Orienteering Federation) originally for design printed orienteering maps, but would be useful for creators of any type of maps. FTR, I would recommend to try OpenOrienteering Mapper[0] app (desktop publishing software for cartography) if you need free & open-source tool for draw orienteering maps (or other types of vector+raster maps) and prepare it for printing or export it in many different raster and vector formats (powered by GDAL lib), including PDF with CMYK or Spot color separation. Mapper sources available on GitHub[1] and binary builds provided for Linux, Mac OS, Windows and Android (including Android-x86).
