export to Roland Versaworks pantone problem

hi i have been using x5 today for the first time and everything is great and it merged perfectly with the rest of our setup, except when i tried to print 'n pantone specified colour on our roland.

we get various logos to print and when the client is happy with a print we like to keep that colour till the client changes it, but now x5 exports the pantone colour into versaworks as black and the cmyk i had with it as normal.

is it an export setting i did not change to get it the same as x4 or is it this colour management thing going nuts?

i had to revert to x4 to get the file exported correctly and printed.

needless to say it will be a pain if i have to keep on doing this to get the printing done correctly...  please help me out here!?

  • Is this for a cut contour line or is this for PMS colors in general?

    Go to Tools>Color Management>Default Settings

    In the bottom left of that dialog there is a dropdown about spot colors. Set it to use CMYK color instead of Lab. This will make X5 the spot color alternative representations the same as X4.
