Corel Draw X6 - The document converts automaticaly all objects (inluding text) from c0 m0 y0 k100 to c72 m58 y53 k79. No matter how many times I set black back to 100 and the rest to 0 when i open the document all black colors are again in the cmyk mix. If you try to convert back to k100 using the find and replace comand it says the document can't find that color. What can i do???

Is the an X6 document you're opening or an older version?
It appears that color management may be set to automatically convert can you make screen captures of your default application color management settings and post please.
It was a new x6 document with imported content from a pdf. It seems fine now, it's already @ print. I will let you know how it turns out. Can i upload the file here or do i use a file transfer website and post the link?
That doesn't solve the problem, the settings are the same for both documents so there is really nothing to import. The change of color at each pasted element from another document is pretty serious and i really don't think that has to do with the color settings. I will try to reinstall corel and see what happens then. This is the biggest problem I have encountered since i use corel, makes work almost imposible.

When I import, the text is C-0, M-O, Y-0, K80. Is this what you want? Or do you need K-100?
Reason is because the text can be selected separately and converted to K-100 on both files.
K80 is what i need, but in my document it imports C55 M45 y42 k46. And red changes from M100 Y80 to M100 Y-constantly going down on value with each paste.

Then your (color management) settings need changing! The original Document is Adobe RGB 1998 and you are converting to CMYK.
These are my settings, give them a whirl...
Thanks, i will try this also, but just to be shure I said it right: when I import an element it changes the grey from K80 to that value in all the document, not only the object I'm importing. So when it changes, if I make a new object and set it to K80 and import again something, that object changes to the cmyk mix again. So all the greys in the document change, not only the one from the imported object :)
After you have set all colors to where you want, Keep the colors in the color space you normally work in and save the document with the new embedded color profiles. In the future you wont have these issues. But with the settings I gave you, you should be fine.
