What version of Corel are you running?

Hi Dave,

We’ve got a 600 but run ours through Signlab, I remember though a while ago a man from Solutions 2 (forget the fellas name) showed me how to install the custom palettes etc to run the 600 through corel.

Its definately do-able but I’m afraid I’m not totally clued up on it, but I did manage to find this mini guide (pdf format) which I hope will help;

P.S. I used to run a pc-50 through corel 4 (now i’m really going back in time!!) and the one thing that used to catch people out is that you have to make sure when you set the printer settings, you have to make sure that the printer is looking for the correct colour. I.E. Set up graphic in corel using red but when setting the printer settings, told it to print red from colour -not red- (hope this is making sense!!!)

Thanks Andy,
Will look into the help file you mention and let you know.

Hi, you’ll need to make a new custom pallette for corel
and edit these to:- (and save)

all in the order of Red-Green-Blue in the picker.

Red- 255 0 0
Green- 0 255 0
Blue- 0 0 128
Cyan- 0 255 255
Magenta- 255 0 255
Yellow- 255 255 0
Orange- 255 128 0
Black- 0 0 0
White- 255 255 255
Gold- 128 128 0
Silver- 128 128 128

Don’t forget to enable the spot colours in the print setup or they’ll be ignored.
Make sure the Magenta for contour cut is the same magenta in colour values as above or it won’t recognise the magenta as your contour colour.
Corel( in my experience) plays with the black on the pallette too, it may use two blacks with an incorrect one as a spot, just use the 000 one (and ignore the other) as the spot black or you’ll get process colours to make it
-very expensive. oooppps sorry that’s signlab what does that!

I also have a few more colour values too if you’d like them.
cheers

Somehow I just found these today…

VERY useful to me Rodney. Thank you! If you have a more complete list, I’d love to have it.
