Hi all,
I just experienced some color issues between corel draw nodes, example is an art work with pms value 186 c red..., on the origin computer where the file was originally generated in corel draw the file opens correct with the right PMS 186 c value and it displays on screen as correct red , however on the other 2 computers the color becomes transparent with a color ID - 100% ID:19 Density:100 and appears black under color palette while the text itself with the color assigned appears transparent, where is should be red (PMS 186 C).
This is a complete mess I have never ever experienced any problems of that kind since working with draw version 3.., , the file I describe is simple - 3 signs with red text..., lol how can I rely on corel package when I am unable to manage a file with 2 damn colors...., we've had a similar issue in the past where we printed 2 illuminated sign faces size 60" x 144" incorrectly, whre black turned onto white...,
I am sorry if I am asking too much but from a designer point of view this is simply ridiculous,what has happened to a bullet proof design package ??..., when we can not manage correctly single file with 2 colors how can I rely on anything else from corel draw considering already all the important detailsI have to watch for like trapping, spelling , sizes, color accuracy ect..... now what?? I have to reassure myself that the color I assigned will actually work on the next computer ......
Has anyone else come across similar problems ?? if so would you mind sharing your solution...
thanks.

Just wanted to add , I just ran some tests, the same file when text converted to curves and over saved opens just fine the color displays as correct red,
when the text remains as font the problem persist.

The two files you sent look alright here.
Thanks for checking Ronny. Now, if a few others check, as well as the OP, then it may be solved.
The 2 files you supplied also open right on my end now...
I just wanted to add if that was missed, that ran a test and when I converted the troubled text to curves and over saved it, it opened correctly on secondary computer showing the actual 186 c red. It almost seems like the font itself is holding some sort of conflicting color data or a feature that is preventing corel draw from displaying the actual color data....
This thing should be addressed and fixed immediately,
my world and my career evolves around specific color data not a color assumption ....,
and using draw as a primary design tool makes me now very worried and on top of that it becomes counter productive as I will have to double check
everything that I design and print from now on until this problem is resolved...
thanks to all of you for participating and trying to resolve / troubleshoot this important issue.
open fine here too. Are you sure that the file was not saved as an old version?
I guess this issue is closed then???? Just curious.
