Hi Jon,

Yea mate you need to set up the colour chart to have one as perf and one as contour. Should be a few YouTube videos on this. I believe you can set it to whatever you want but ours is 100% magenta. You can added it to your colour palette on screen and right click the text/object.

We found this though which I think is a Corel problem. Versa works try’s to crop the image/whatever just a bit to much. Meaning if it’s a square you have 3 sides of it cut and one missing. We not add a extra square/box hairline just bigger than what we are cutting, making sure it has no colour/white and group it with the print/cut.

If you get one line of a box missing in RVW (and you’re using .eps) just go to the Queue settings for the queue you’re using and under the ‘File Format’ tab add an eps margin – 0.35 should do the trick.

Thanks joe. I’ll go try that. Everyone else I’ve mentioned it to has just shrugged. Cheers

No probs. With eps the file format sometimes doesn’t export/show all of the information on it’s border, so when you have a spot colour (cutline in this case) it sometimes doesn’t see it. So you add a margin so that it will look a little outside of the usual boundary. Hopefully it’ll be what you were after! Can also affect the out-most point of circles etc.

Does RVW recognise the cutline at all? You can check by looking in the middle pane of the mainscreen, where it says ‘special items’, when you select the job it should have a blue A here.
