can anyone help with cutting from a roland & using corel
Hi…Just wondered if anyone out there knew how to cut on the print & cut Roland printer with Corel Draw x5 as you can do with Illustrator. New to Corel and cannot find any tutorials at all about this topic.

You need to set a spot colour and name it CutContour, there are tutorials on you tube, once you have that spot colour , do an outline , or boundary as it is called in coral, do a boundry aroundcyou image orvgraphic, right click your CutContour colour, which is now recognised in versa works as a cut line and not a colour to be printed, then print and cut in versaworks, good luck

as graham has mentioned is the way i used to do it, a wee introduction in the say hello forum will help get a better response to your question 😀

Pretty sure there is a colour palette on your versaworks disc which already has it on too

Hiya,
The Roland colour system library and the cut contour swatch are built into Corel X5 for your convenience.
In the older versions you had to either import the swatches or you can always make then yourself.
If you go to:
Window> Dockers> Color Palette Manager
This will open up a window for you, then:
Palette Libraries> Spot> Roland
Inside this folder you will find all the swathes you need for spot colours and cut contour, white, metallic ink etc!The palettes will open up down the right hand side of the screen and you can select either fill or outline as Graham mentioned by left or right clicking on your swatch.
Hope this helps!

Thank you so much for your solution to my problem. Sorry this was a rush project and to be honest I didn’t know if I could post a topic! The last time I tried, it said I would have to be a member Nik. I heard on the grapevine that UK Signboards.com is very good and now know myself that this is true!! Being a member is certainly going to be an advantage. (digging deep in the purse) I think…
The PDF is so helpful too. I can’t thank you guys enough.
