Setting a colour to CutContour in X3
Hi all
I have been trying to set a colour in my pallette to CutContour and while I can rename the colour, when I export as a eps instead of getting the marching ants in Versaworks i just get a solid line of my chosen colour. What am I doing wrong?A step by step guide would be a great help if anyone has the time.
Thanks in advance

I don’t use your rip mate. But what I do in the Onyx rip is enable the software to cutcontour. The path you send with your image has to be a light green. When CutContour’s enabled in the rip it recognises the green path as a not printable image, so sends this to the Cut server ready for decal cutting.
Hope this makes sense? -

Have you made sure that the line width is a Hairline as well as CutContour we use X3 all the time and Versaworks so if that doesnt work ill try to give you a more detailed option if neccessary

gary i don’y know VW but its the colour name that has to be correct not the colour.
in rolands colourrip you make a new colour from the chart in corel then give it the cutpath name (CutContour) i think for VW

Thanks for you help guys. I have done this before and cannot for the life of me remember just how.
I have made sure I have named the colour CutContour as previously done and in fact the same as I have it on the pc which is set up to create cut contours for Versaworks. I am thinking outloud here but can I save that palette and then open it on the other pcs?
I am pretty sure that I have seen detailed instructions on here before but after numerous searches cannot for the life of me find it.
Thanks for the help so far with this.
Cheers
