the xc can also be set up as CMYKOG... add orange and green. i worked at a shop that had one set like that with megaink. the colors you could get on that thing were awesome. for sign work we didn't need lt cyan or lt mag so the orange and green additions really made some colors pop...

not true... if you save a jpeg from the original PSD file and print it will work fine. the problem with jpegs is if you keep resaving from the jpeg the quality keeps dropping. if you only save from the PSD to jpeg to print it will work fine. i save all my originals as PSD.. or whatever...

the flexi pro includes a full featured RIP, so even though i don't use it a lot as a design tool, the RIP is nice. if you just work in illustrator/photoshop/corel you will still need a RIP. and most rips cost a few thousand or more.. flexi comes bundled with a lot of print packages too. i...

oops

yeah i heard of this heater fix... and would like to know exactly how to do it too.

when i print them at 72 dpi, you can hardly see the difference from higher res . even up close the only thing you can see is the edges of things like small letters are not just totally crispy sharp. but i don't think anyone but another sign guy could even see that, and its meant to be viewed...

alright Rick's points about layers and the new found transparent gradient in cs4 have me leaning towards illy, but corel does have some shaping tools i really like (polygon tool..etc..) i have been an illy user for a while so i'm sure that plays a part in that i'm familiar with it. Joe...

i see transparency in gradients is in CS4... very nice, but still a little more complex than corel. but that complexity does allow for a few more options (it looks like it, i haven't tried it yet)

come on man... give me the answer, i need it. transparecy in gradients please!!!!! you aren't talking about using the opacity mask trick... i used that before, but it is fairly complex operation for most. corel's transparency in gradient tool is just.... click

that's true...

come on... cough up the answer. i can't find it!

since i only have a day or 2 toying around in corel (mostly with shaping and transparent gradients) i haven't really toyed with the layers and things. i do use layers a lot in illustrator so i'll be checking that out in corel. i like to take a layer illy file and export it as PSD then it...

If this is still true with corels colors... that would be a big sticking point. i get the color i want and expect from my adobe products.

Flexi does come with a full feature RIP, most standalone RIPs cost thousands.

i can't comment on reliablity, i just downloaded the trial, because i was really impressed with its features. do you mean the colors are as good, that was one of the reasons i settled on illy years ago. i heard the color issues were fixed? but with the trial i must say Corel seems much...

i had the same problem after changing the maintenance station parts. i had to soak the print heads with a lint free rag soaked with cleaning fluid, pull ink thru the supply lines to the dampers, change the dampers and o rings, pull ink thru capping station. all this with the assitance of...

i hear that a lot.. at my old job at another shop i was the only adobe user and the others said the same. but to me the programs are so similar just different in terminology and execution. like in illy its offset path and in corel its contour... but still the same things. i've never been an...

after that wing tutorial with the polygon tool posted i looked into corel again by downloading the trial. i was blown away with its node and shaping... smart fill, transparency in gradients. i used corel years ago (version 3 or4) but switched to adobe mostly over color issues. but these...

exactly.. cmyk for some rgb for some and i use adobe rgb1998 for most of the prints on my mutoh but have to use sRGB for web and email ....

Been using illustrator, but that is a cool tool (polygon).... i'm gonna try the corel trial. i have used both at different jobs and different times and been using illy lately because of color. but i here that corel has the color issues worked out, and it does have some cool features.
