I am struggling to print out CMYK separations. I am obviously missing a step, but in the print preview, each of the process colors seem to be just grayscale. I believe there is a way to make them halftone dots, but can't seem to find out how. I am just doing the artwork for a printer who has the machine to do this type of job if I can only print out the separations...please help!!

So, if I understand you correctly, I may have an inferior printer. Up to now, I have just printed simple 1 to 4 spot color separations off my laser and/or inkjet printer. Do I have to have FastRip or similar software and a different printer to accomplish this type of job?
If you don't have a postscript printer, you can use the generic driver in Corel to access the advanced settings tab to adjust lpi/angle etc.
Then print to file (ps or prn).
You can output any halftone plate through Ghostscript/Ghostview.........even with a plain old, non-postscript, inkjet printer.
Open the saved halftone file in GV and you'll be good to go.

You will have to forgive me, but when I select the "print separations", the advanced tab or "use advanced settings" area is grayed out therefore is not available. What else am I not doing?
