roland library

[graphix]

Hello i want to print the roland library BUT i want to print the swatches with the convert to spot color option checked.....when i load the roland library it won't let me check the convert to spot color it is greyed out does anyone have a corel or eps file of all the roland library swatches that i can load and click the convert to spot color ...Thanks

The roland color library swatches are in the actual Versaworks folder. You need to design your file in illustrator using the spot colors from the roland color library, then once you bring it into versaworks, click the "convert to spot color"

I hope that answered your question

Thanks for reply but i am looking for the actual individual swatches of the RVW swatches ...maybe i need to go to corel forum and ask how to print a swatch pallet out...thanks

Ohhh in versaworks, goto the Media >> Color Chart Type 1 and it'll print one out.

You don't need to click the print spot colors when you print out that chart, it will do it automatically basically. The colors that come out are the spot colors

ok when i print a color from the roland versa works swatch (without the check in the convert to spot color) the print is pale when i check convert to spot it is vivid and two different colors...richer colors with the check mark in the convert to spot colors..

You have two issues here:
1) Yes, you actually do need to check the convert to spot color or is not truly the RVW color color. Just set it in the queue before adding a file. Double click on the "A" or "B" folder icon (to the top left of the Versaworks interface. Next to the little computer and picture of your printer.) Then set it there. Then it will always be checked (As is should be)

2) The Roland color system library swatch set for corel (and illustrator) is in the actual program folder for versaworks.
if you installed in the default location its here:
(64bit os) C:\Program Files (x86)\Roland VersaWorks\Swatch\CorelDraw
(32bit os) C:\Program Files\Roland VersaWorks\Swatch\CorelDraw

Then you can add that to your Corel pallet and use those spot color in the designs.

the print on the left is without spot color check and the one on theright is with spot color checked...when i printed the library i am thinking it printed without convert to spot color because it won't even let you select it..

Not media settings. Queue A or B properties.

yes but if you make a box and fill it with a rvw swatch color and print it without the check it will produce the same color that you color chart you printed out with supposely the convert to spot check....now if you print the same color with the check mark in convert to spot you will see a totally different color leaving me to believe that the color library did not really convert to spot color like it said it did....picture below shows a print without a check which is exactly what the chart shows and the picture on right with a check in convert to spot color is totally different...

I wonder if it's registering the actual swatch name and not the color makeup. Try making making a swatch 100 cyan only and name it the same as a red color off the roland swatch library. Then check "convert spot colors" and see if it comes out red or blue...

Don't know if this will help, but towards the top of Versaworks, where the little printer is you should have 2 folders for the queue a and queue b settings, go into each and in the file format tab check the convert to spot colors box. This way anytime a spot color comes into versaworks it will automatically convert without having to tell it to on each job. See if it picks up those spot colors now.
