When changing the CMYK to RGB colours, why is the colour different?
Basic color management, CMYK is a smaller gamut than RGB.
David,
Thanks for your reply.
However - what we don't understand here is that we have been using previous versions of Corel 2007 for graphics etc in our designs and we don't understand now with the new version of Corel 2021 why when the CMYK to RGB ends up in complete different colours to the original artwork

Short answer: RGB has 16.8 million colors, CMYK uses only about 64,000. That explains why you will lose some colors, especially bright colors. By the way, depending on the color profile, this loss may be greater or less, it may even go unnoticed. For example, using "Perceptual" rendering you will notice that the change is less abrupt.
Hi,
We have CorelDraw constantly giving us this messange when we go to print out our Name Badge orders on our card printer RTP9660

Can someone advise why or where we can do the directions as we have tried with no success.
The message you get explains what may be wrong and suggests how to correct it.In the Print dialog, Color tab, choose if you want Draw or your printer to handle the conversion, from the "Color conversions" dropdown menu.There are a couple of other settings in that tab that also will affect the printed result.
Ronny,
I have attached details of the print/colour options in the Coreldraw and specifically the Output Colour that states RGB and a photo of the relevant transfer film cartridge that shows it as YMCK.
How do we have the RGB option altered to YMCK as the drop down menu in the colour option box will not allow this to happen.
Thanks
Try looking into the Default Colour Settings and change the Primary Colour Mode to RGB

I don't know, I'm afraid.The RTP 9660 seems to be a dye sublimation printer and I guess most of us have no idea how they work or how they handle color.My best advice is that you play with the dialog and printer driver settings until you get a result that is acceptable.Or maybe you could check with your printer dealer instead?
