Hi,
I have a problem creating a CutContour. I have to use 100% Magenta and set it to spot color. Every time I set the color to spot it automatically sets the color from 0|100|0|0 to 5|95|0|0 and I can't change these settings.
Can anyone help me with this?
What you should do is to create it as a spot colour in a custom palette.
For a cut contour, it is tne name of the spot colour that matters. Your cutting software should be looking for that name, not for a specific CMYK value which you are highly likely to be using somewhere in the design.
Thanks for your quick response.
I did create a custom palette and I named the color right. My printing company needs the color to be 100% Magenta as spot color, named "Lack". But every time I add 0|100|0|0 to my palette and set it to spot the color changes to 5|95|0|0. I spent hours to solve that problem but I can't solve it ... please help!!!
I think its likely that the colour model or colour management settings are causing the change.
I don't have X5 to test this with, but if X5 works the same way as X4, I believe it is possible to find the colour palette file, open it in a text editor and change the colours there.
Thanks again for your help. So I tried to edit the palette file, it says 0,1,0,0 ... when I change that to 0,100,0,0 I get 0|60|0|0 ... now I don't know what else to do. In all the standard spot color palettes there is no color with 100% Magenta :(
It works here - see attached pdf sample file.
Do you have installed all updates?
Best regards,

Finde gerade den direkten Beitrag nicht.
Ist bei mir auch so wenn man nachmisst, aber ich habe beim schneiden da noch keine Probleme gehabt, ob das natürlich bei dir auch so ist???
Ich benütze meistens diese Palette Hier
I have installed all the updates. Thanks for your file, but when I import it into Corel the color of your pdf is 5|95|0|0 ...
I tried it even with the test version of Corel X7 ... seems like I have some general problem.
