Hi All,
I'm a graphic designer by my hobby. I'm using corel draw from it's 4th version. Recently I decided to purchase Corel Draw X5. So I download the trial from internet.
But, its disappointed me. When I print text/line art from X5, its prints sharp dotted lines. And the solids are not perfect solid. I opened some files from X4, and same result. But when I create a file in X5 and save it to X4, then print it from X4, its perfect. I'm using a HP LajerJet 5000 & Samsung ML1610 Printer.
What is wrong with Corel X5? or the Color setting?
my setting is :
Hi David,
I was talking about two different print companies, both are using Heidelberg 4 color offset machines.
My color management setting screenshoot is on my first post (above).
I cant effort a Color calibrator device, so I use a normal viewing method to setup my CRT monitor.
Plz help me. And thanks for your kind effort.

Ok your color management settings beg a couple questions. First during file creation are you converting all RGB elements in your file to CMYK and are you creating all vector elements as CMYK?
If you are not doing all your conversions and creation as CMYK then change your methods and strat using CMYK only for press. Then you can turn off soft proofing.
Second please describe your system specifications in detail. Specifically your video card and monitor.
BTW I still do all my critical color corrections on CRT displays.
I'm always use photoshop to edit pictures/bitmaps and then save them into tiff format (16 bit). And in CorelDraw, I always check all objects carefully for CMYK.I use AOC P7S91 CRT monitor and NVIDIA GeForce 9500 GT (512 mb) Graphics card on a Intel C2D PC. My Mainboard is Intel G31PR with 2GB DDR2 Ram and 500 GB Seagate 7200 RPM HDD.I think it should help you to solve my problem.Thanks in advance.Ravi R

So you import RGB into CorelDRAW, correct?
RaviR said:And in CorelDraw, I always check all objects carefully for CMYK.
So you convert your 16 bit RGB to 32 bit CMYK in CorelDRAW correct? or Do you convert to CMYK in the print or export stream?
Is the RGB color space of your Photoshop images the same as the RGB color space of CorelDRAW?
Sorry for my bad english. And sorry for late too.I always import 16 bit CMYK into CorelDRAW. Will imporing in 32 bit solve my problem?And, I dont convert BGB to CMYK in CorelDraw. I use Photoshop CS3 for doing that. I convert vector objects and few text (pasted from MS Word) from RGB to CMYK in CorelDRAW only.RegardsRavi R
