I would like to start saving in the file name a unique number with our artwork. When we send out art for approval it would be easier to have shirts-2345954.jpg as a searchable file.
Ideally the numbers would start and generate sequentially, per save or by some factor. So that once a number is used it can not be reused.
read that color management pdf by gennady petrov and tried a few things he wrote. I turned off color management in the printer driver, chose corel to manage color, and the image default profile sRGBxxxxx. picture was way dark and ugly. tried several other profiles and same dark picture. hmm that did not work so well.
went back to the printer driver and disabled no color management, and chose the profile Adobe RGB. still kept corel as manager and chose A RGB as the profile and the print looked spot on. Have not had problems printing from corel because I have come up with my own system, but was quite surprised at the result from turning off color management in the printer driver.
Export each page (maximum object boundary not page boundary) as JPEG to my given path with unique file name. (file name will provided on each page as filename).

How does X5 really handle memory? I have 2 GB RAM and with a clean boot I have 1.5 GB physical memory free. But, when I open X5 and a 330 MB CDR file, the remaining physical memory shows 1 GB while it additionally uses 750 MB of VM on the hard disk.
It doesn't sound very clever to me because I wait and watch my hard drive led blinking at 225 BPM : What should I do to force X5 use the available RAM prior to hard disk? (XP x64sp2)

How to get x6 to match these settings had in x4?
I can just make a couple adjustments to come close.
Attached are current settings.
Corel's strategy worked: I've given up the dumbhead's reliance on X4's color-management-off technique and am learning color management.
I have X5 running on an LED monitor with pretty good colors, outputting to an old Epson Photo Stylus 2200 inkjet printer. All I really need (right now) is to print out renderings of signs for customers' approval. I've made up a simple grid of Cyan-Magenta-Yellow (first row) and Red-Green-Blue (second row) using pure values from the color mixer:
Colors look decent enough on the RGB monitor, and the top row prints fine (printer is CMYK, after all). Red and Green on the second row are a little pale, but acceptable. It's the Blue that's the problem: I've divided the box to show the screen blue (upper left) and print blue (lower right); the latter is dark purple. Is this a gamut problem? Hard to believe the printer can't get any closer than that.
What is the default color management setting (all the setting) that Coreldraw X5 is set to after installation. We had a tech guy from our local printer chage the values and now we only have problems

What are you using for font management? Bit stream? Something else?
Current System: i3 3.07ghz, 3gb ram, Windows 7 32 bit with all updates and X6
The new color management system in CorelDraw X5. When I enable color management (only option is Microsoft ICM) in the Default Color Settings (under conversion settings) I get unfavorable results when converting a RGB to CMYK bitmap - it darkens and adds too much reflex color. When I disable the Color Conversion the bitmaps convert correctly, but the palette (and vector objects in the design) become reflex RGB.
Any generic prepress setting I can use that does not shift colours between RGB and CMYK bitmaps, and that displays the palette more accurately.
My current profile settings are:
RGB: sRGB IEC61966-2.1
CMYK: US Web Coated SWOP V2
Grayscale: Dot Gain 15%
We are just in the process of setting up Corel X6 for deployment in our office and we are trying to get a handle on the colour settings. We have upgraded from CD11 which had very little in the way of colour management and so we are somewhat inexperienced in how to set up.
We have two production printers an OKI 821 and a Ricoh C820DN which we print to using PCL drivers. We believe that we therefore need to use RGB as our colour mode and use an ICC profile for each printer for colour correction with colour management switched off on the driver. Is this correct? We've had a try this afternoon and the colours on the prints differ greatly from the display (which has been profiled using an xrite i1pro calibrator). They also differ from each other.
The monitor profile is set as the device profile in the windows colour system, and we are using that as our engine in corel.
I run three different printing and engraving systems at the same time with my business. Each system needs to have a different color management preset selected or the prints are screwed up. Each time I open a file I have to go to tools..color management ... default settings. and check or change the preset. It seems like half of my day is spent doing this and from time to time I forget and screw up a print. Is there a macro or docker or something that will display what preset is in use on my screen some where and maybe even give me an option to click on it and change the preset? Each file is normally only for one particular system so if there is a way to save the file so that the preset that was used when saving it comes back up when it is opened would be useful too.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI've been struggling with the color management in CorelDraw X5 for awhile. I usually just design blind and check the print out or exported images after the fact to see if they're how I initially intended. The image above is exactly how the design looks in Draw.
This next image is how it looks when I print it out or when I export it to a JPG or PSD or other bitmap.
I've been researching for awhile on the color management and have tried many many varieties. I'm still not sure what the deal is. If it was my monitor or drivers I don't think I would be getting the result I want after I export the image, although I haven't tried updating the driver yet.
Below is my current configuration.
Something has changed dramatically between X4 & X6 when printing color.
Using X4 right out of the box with no "tweaking" all pantone colors print perfect on Xerox 700 Digital Color Press.
Trying to print same pantone colors in X6 with no "tweaking" on Xerox 700 Digital Color Press, color is not even close.
Is there a way to setup X6 to replicate color management of X4.
how can I set the "color management" to the printer to print exactly colors as on the monitor?

See the red marked area, where it is not accepting to select the rgb or cmyk. Only accepts the Lab only. It is changing the X5 but not in the X6.
For some reason I cannot get the color management screen to open where you see the printer, monitor, and other things that are located there.
I tried clicked on tools -color management but it opens document setting and that's it.
I am using X-15 and just not sure what I am doing wrong.
I recently purchased an Epson R3000 and am having terrible trouble with the colour management from Corel. Everything I output has a very yellowy/browny caste over it when compared to my screen (for example a slightly warm grey comes out brown-grey and light blues come out very murky in colour tone). I have applied Adobe RGB (1998) to the document, opted for Corel to manage colours and turned off colour management in my printer. I am also using IC profiles specific to my papers. My monitor is self-calibrated but up until now the colour difference between screen and output device has never been a problem.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI run a little print shop as part of our Charity and we produce T-shirts, sublimation mugs and coasters as well as some paper based goods.
I've read a lot about color management but what is the best way to to set up to print to our postscript printers (one OKI 821 & a Ricoh 820DN)
Currently I have the default workspace set to CMYK, sRGB & coated Fogra39 profiles, color engine as WCS, preserve black off and the rest as defaults.
My question is how to set up for printing to postscript? I've read that this is best for color accuracy and allows for different colour spaces with in the same document. We print a lot of cards for local artists whose images are edited in Photoshop and output as srgb jpegs. We then import these into corel and add writing using the standard CMYK palette.
At the moment when we print we have corel set to manage colours, output colours as native as there is a combination of of RGB & CMYK elements. Within the printer driver we set either CM off or ICM managed by host, depending on the driver.
Is this correct? I did have a thought that this combination may mean that effectively there is no color management happening at all!?! It is useful for us to keep the jpegs as RGB because some customers will require their artwork on sublimation items as well which require transfers being produced on a non-postscript device. For these we use a sublimation ICC profile and a PCL driver and it works well.
With postscript I have found that outputting the file as cmyk rather than native dulls the image considerably. However, using native output gives different results from both of our printers.
I'm having issues when printing from CorelDraw X5, These issues are only on our newest machine so its a fresh clean install of the printer, OS and Corel itself, So I'd like to know how I can get my printer to print exactly what I view on screen, Some colors come out fine however others tend to be different, For example:
When I print a color which displays as a light grey/silver in corel, It prints this in a Lilac-ish color. When I try to print gold it comes out more of a yellow rather than the gold in Coreldraw,
From what I've read using the search on the forums, I must have my monitor, printer and corel all using the same colour profile, I've tried this but to no avail (Maybe I'm not doing it right?) The majority of my documents are in CMYK and I have the same problem from both new documents and ones I've saved from before (i.e the gold was to be a re-print of a customer order) .
I recently started working on coreldraw x5, but i am having trouble saving a print style and getting the default colour management settings, i dont know if i missed something or did something wrong, but i dont even have those options on my program

View 4 Replies View RelatedThis discussion is on using RGB file creation techniques to output to ink jet devices. I posted the comments below the link because color management off always pops up in the conversation as it turns to non-postscript devices so I wanted to circumvent the side bar conversation.

First let's get this straight, I've written it and said it about a thousand times, you cannot turn off color management.
When you select simulate color management off in the default application color management dialog, CorelDRAW simply utilizes a different set of color management settings. The rules of color management never change! The application requires guidelines on color and still must have rules that govern conversions, PERIOD.
These rules are not different, only the engines, rendering intents and profiles change. These setting in X5 and X6 can be, in some cases adjusted to simulate previous setting in versions prior to X5 that were labeled color management off, but this label in older versions (X4 and older) were deceptive in their nature, color management was never turned off, just set to a specific configuration.
Simulate color management off (in X5/X6) uses wide gamut cmyk simulation as the CMYK profile, it disengages the color engines (setting CorelDRAW to another internally controlled process) and sets the interface to RGB. It does not turn color management off.
These settings have many uses for industries such as laser engraving and screen printing separations and I support their continued use. Do not confuse this and use these settings for professional output using press work, ink jets or digital printers.
Document colors in Corel Draw X3 have changed. Example: dark green is now black on my designed object; Teal is now light green.
I thought it might be color management had switched somehow but all management settings do not make a change as they did before or at all. Basically I think the problem lies in the color management. I re-installed the program but the problem remains. Color management does not affect color appearances as they used too before.I run windows 7 and have had it for a couple of years with no problems.

I have a problem with CorelDraw X6.
When printing 100% black on laser printer the Black is all in raster. Very strange because the same file printed from X4 /same PC and same printer/ is OK and is not in raster.
Probably the problem is somewere in X6.
I don't belive that the problem is in the color management because it's the same as my X5 and there all is OK too.
fit a box of text to the shape of numbers. I work at a screen printing company and working on some school leavers hoodies. They would like the names to make up the year. I cant seem to figure it out on corel.
View 2 Replies View RelatedIt is likely that I don't use dimensioning often enough to get familiar but I think X6 is harder to use than previous versions. I do like being able to pick various arrowhead styles or tickmarks. Still trying to figure out why dimension numbers are blue and how to change that back to black and resize.

The hexadecimal notation is the six letter/digit code that you use in css style sheet formatting for Html documents.
