Colour Profile for Versaworks
A little tip for anyone with Versaworks – Roland have their own colour chart within Versaworks and it is very, very good used with corel (or illustrator) as long as you copy the CPL file from Versaworks to corel (or Illustrator) and load it as a palette (I have corels default CMYK palette along the bottom of my workspace and the Roland palette down the RHS)
To print the swatches open Versaworks and select ‘media’ along the top – this gives a dropdown…select the ‘Create Roland colour system library’ option and then hit ‘Colour selector’ form the list. This will open the charts into Versaworks for printing.
Next copy the file ‘userinks.cpl’ from the versaworks directory (usually found – if you default loaded – under C;/programfiles/RolandVersaworks/Swatch/Coreldraw/userinks.cpl
….and Swatch/Illustrator/userinks.cpl )to
to your corel palette directory – this can be hard to find as it depends which version you are using – for X3 and 12 it is….
c:/Docs and settings/Owner/Application Data/Corel/Graphics13/User custom data/Palettes/ and copy to here (overwrite if asked).
Then open Corel and go to ‘window’ select ‘colour palettes’ and check ‘colour palette browser’. This will open the browser on the RHS of your page and click on ‘user palettes’ and then check the palette called ‘Custom spot colours’ – the palette opens for you to drag to wherever you want it to reside.
As mentioned in a post the other day, we have printed the charts A4 size and stuck them on to corflute so we can cart them around the workshop or to a job site to nail the colour with absolute confidence.
Before going to this colour system, we were forever being frustrated by selecting a colour from our printed charts, only to see a totally different result when the job was printed. This one really works…and so it should…it’s Rolands own.

I’ll have a go at this later
Printed a banner off yesterday twice with different Print qualities, one at standard the other at high quality and both looked so different that I didn’t know what colour it should be so this will make life a little easier
Cheers
