how do i import impact outlines into X3 please?
Can anyone answer this for me please.
I design everything in Signlab and if I’m forwarding artwork with a vehicle outline to a customer I export from Signlab as an ai then import in to Corel where the colours and res is better for me to export as a jpeg. When I do this most of the time it’s perfect but other times the artwork is all fine but the Impact vehicle outline is missing shutlines and panels etc ……………..???????
I know I can import the outline from my Impact disc straight into Corel and then resize my artwork onto it. But I just wondered why this is? It would save me time if I didn’t have to redo it in Corel but just use my complete imported file. -

What version of Signlab is it? EPS is usually better than AI. Even in Signlab 7.1 bits seem to disappear between Signlab & Corel when you export as Ai.

aaaahhhhhhh …………. I never tried exporting as an eps ………… I usually always use ai files.
Just tried that and it’s fine 😀 Thanks!
Just always wondered why it did that ………….. 😉

Later versions of signlab have the ‘send image by email’ feature, that saves hours!! Unfortunately if they customer is using the dreaded aol this feature doesn’t work so now I export as a pdf from signlab and that is pretty quick too.

Out of interest, when I export and then import to corel, all the colours look really washed out, do you get this Marcella?

yes ………… I have to change the colours in Corel Gavin. I have Signlab 7 and have previously used the email feature but I usually prefer to send a jpeg.

Gavin ……….. importing as an eps seems to keep the colours brighter 😕 (?)

So it does… dammit, the amount of time I must have wasted of the years! You live and learn 😀
(still prefer the email thingy though, you can change it from the png thingy to a jpeg, but it does still embed it)

as you say ………. you live and learn. 😀

Why not just publish to a PDF?
most people can view, but you have the option in signlab to forbit editing or printing?
edited to say:
sorry, Gavin already suggested this,
