Colors in Versaworks show up different than in Corel

[autoexebat]

I've been working with this for for well over an hour now and I just can't get it . I have changed it from EPS to PDF and that didnt help... Whats wierd is I have many gradient files and never had this issue come up before.

I am posting 2 pictures.

Hello

did you get this file as .eps or was it made by yourself in corel and exported as .eps, reason i ask is sometimes full vector gradients can play havoc if created with some versions of illustrator or another vector drawing program, i would either do a refill gradient in corel again then export as .eps or pdf, or trying bringing it into adobe acrobat professional and go to tools, and then save again as .eps, you would be surprised what adobe acrobat can do, its especially good for pdf's created out of jpegs, and they can sometimes crash half way through printing and/or give bad printed output.


i have a love of reprographics and hate microsoft publisher

have u tried actually printing it, regardless of what versaworks looks like? The color representation in Versaworks is 99% incorrect, everytime.

But why are we troubleshooting if there hasn't even been a test print? It might print fine.

Create the file in illustrator...corel handles gradients real weird in my experience. Done.

I've never trusted VW's preview...it always shows wrong. Blues will look purple, and once you print, it's blue.
I would print it and THEN troubleshoot, if there's an issue.

Ive also split plenty of illustrator files with corel just to get them to print!

but we won't go down the illustrator/corel pros and cons route will we LOL

LOL ok ok....fair enough. To be honest I'd actually like to try Corel out, if they'd come out with something new for mac.

They do... it's called Windows running in a virtual machine... and it works great! :Big Laugh I use it every day in this configuration. And with VMWare Fusion and Unity mode... I don't even realize I am using Corel inside a VM.
