Cool Grey 10c
Hi Guys, can anyone tell me how to print a true grey without any influence of magenta. Any shade i try to print you can see it in there. I’ve tried exporting in RGB, CMYK and also desaturating through Corel

Convert to greyscale bitmap in corel will do it 🙂

Cool Grey 10 is 60% Black 2% Magenta.
So I’m not sure what you talking about.
The closest you will get is surely just dropping the 2% magenta and just printing the 60% Black.
Or have I missed the point?

i have the 4 colour process euro guide and it says that the mix is 73% black. Am i right in using this guide?

My solid to process guide says
M2% K60%Same as the conversion Corel Draw gives me.

the problem i have though is i find the corel palette not very accurate especially where spot colours are concerned. Anything i try it doesn’t seem to be very near. whether it is my rip i don’t know.
If anyone is using the same set up as me it would be nice to know what colour they achieve.
I am currently on Raster link pro 2 with a mimaki JV3 SP160 using corel X3
I am exporting a box @ C0 M2 Y0 K60 as an EPS (cmyk output) and importing into my rip as standard……..HELP -
Tim, How close do you get with yours?
-
Marshy I don’t print in house sorry.
Long and short is you won’t match all spot colours in 4 colour process – the two colour systems have a different colour gamut.
Get a solid to process pantone chart and you will see some are way off.
Only way you can get closer is I would say to tweak colours to achieve as close as possible.
Others who print hopefully can help you more than I can.
Tim.

My Pantone guide gives 73K only – Corel X4 gives 60K 2M. Some inkjet printers give the option of black only – does your rip do the same?
