I design various things in CorelX8 Using Solid coated colors to hopfully achieve them on a wide format decal printing machine with its own rip. My issue is from the Corel side I cannot export my designs as Jpegs or PDF's and the colors remain vibrant and true. So during the approval process by email my customers never get that nice crisp clean color we want. I want to design and print in full gloss, but my proofs or examples seem to come across as matte finish. I know very little about color management so please educate me and talk me through how i need to make it all happen.
It sounds like your designing in Spot and Printing to CMYK, many spot color are out of the CMYK gamut. Unfortunately there is no true solution for how you work. You need to design in a GAMUT you can print.
At http://www.graphictechnology.com/ is a book on color management.

if you export as CMYK there's no way to remain "vibrant" colors. You should use RGB or Pantone instead
