    Posted by Earl Smith on 21 January 2010 at 08:41

    Hi,
    I’m using X4 and trying to find the pallet with the non printable colour on it. Anybody have any idea where it is?
    Why? So I can have all my templates for sublimation and T- shirts non printable. Do the design and send straight to the printer without deleting the template.
    Thanks
    Earl.

    Can you not just create a template and put it on another layer and lock it? If it’s locked then it won’t print? (I don’t use Corel so might be wrong)

    Earl why dont you just have your template on a separate layer, and just turn it of to print?

    Say earl has several different product he prints to, shape size etc.
    He makes a template of each so he can do the layout. He does not want to print the actual shape of the template just the contents.
    Does that make sense Phill?

    Earl if you right click on the layer properties, you can make it non printable,

    Use Layers and take the tick out of Printable

    See "Object Manager" dockers

    you could also save it as a corel template.

    I knew somebody would say use Layers. They are the way to go, but I hate using them . Dont know why but I have never gotten my head around them…But if I cant find the colour then I WILL learn layers.
    Phill….When I used Corel 4,6 and 8 there was a colour pallet that had a colour on it that did not print. I could make a template drawn with that colour of the printable area of a mug , then open the template, do the design and send straight to the printer.
    Thanks for the replies.
    Earl.

    I don’t know if I have got this one right, there is a square on the left side of the colour pallet that is white with a cross in it, is this what you are looking for????

    If I remember correctly, that is "no fill". X4 recognises "registration black" if it appears in a file, but I don´t think registration black can be set as a colour in Corel. When you create a PDF from corel, crop marks show as registration black.
