I have been using CorelDraw since the day it came out. Just had to say that so the forum would know i do know my way around Coreldraw.
My PC systems rock!! all i7's, 32 ram, SSD, high end graphics cards.
Corelx8 STILL drags, slowest Corel yet. Had to get that off my chest.
Now to my problem.
I have a gradient fill (CMYK) top is 100% yellow to 100% yellow 100% black. If i click on the slider and add another point, it will show me what the gradient color is.
Lets say i click about 75% to the top of the slider bar, IT should be a fill of about 100% yellow and 25% black. IT does not!! it shows it as an RGB color, once i convert that color to CMYK.
it has a percentage of Cyan AND magenta as well as the yellow and Black.
IT should only contain percentages of Yellow and Black.
Can't someone explain what is going on, and how to (BY default ) use CMYK.
We print T-shirts as well as car wrap vinyls.
Thanks,
Dave
Desktop, I am working in Coreldrawx8, Draw a simple square. Give it a two color gradient fill. 100% yellow to 100% yellow-100% Black (CMYK). Once done running the eyedropper over the gradient fill YES i only get variations of Yellow and the Black. But if you try and double click on the slider bar to add a third color that color becomes an RGB, shouldn't it be showing me or adding the color as a CYMK and whatever the varient of the yellow/black is? Why would it add an RGB and once you convert it to CYMK it adds CYAN and Magenta to the whole color gradient INCLUDING the original Yellow/black 100% color. Again If you run the eyedropper about the halfway point you will see it shows a color of 100% yellow and 50% black, IF you double click on the slider bar around that halfway point it adds the color but as an RGB and i HAVE to convert it to CMYK and now it has Cyan AND Magenta in it across the WHOLE color gradient. THAT screws up my separations when I print it out to the printer, it shows GREAT on the screen, BUT I only need/want the yellow and black. I have been doing it this way in CORELDRAW for 28 Years, NOW i have this problem in Corelx8. As a side note, I print T-shirts, I use RIP software so I can control the DOT size DPI and the angle to reduce Moire, and control over the screen mesh size. Been doing it in Corel for 28 years now.
OH, and the reason i don't want the Cyan and Magenta, Sure it looks good on the screen, BUT if i print JUST the yellow and black, of course the yellow will look fine it is 100% in the whole square BUT the black shows a lot of banding and is not a smooth transition.

I think that may be related to other problems with the forum software. I've been experiencing trouble with it for the past two months or so.
Posts won't go through the way they should, and repeated attempts end up triggering the "moderation" thing.
