Gerber Omega 5.0 Demo

[D-Kal]

Hello, Everyone

I recently acquired a Gerber Edge had one before but this one is newer but it still came with Omega 1.54 , so I been messing around with a Demo of Omega 5.0.

When I import a Illustrator AI file, I get a Grey background does any body know why?

How can I change it too white?

Under Tools>Options>Palletes+Colors

Should be able to change the background color to whatever you want.

Thanks I figured it out I had the wireframe option off,

No my background is white but the colors of the artwork don't show, I have a feeling am probably still doing something wrong?

wireframe won't show colors. just the 'wireframe' of the art

the 'grey' background is just fluff when in filled view mode, most likely so you can see white vinyl

Okay turned the wireframe off, got my colors back

But now on the bottom they changed from spot to CYMk and I went in the palette option and changed it to white but I still have a gray background

By pressing F8 it flips between filled/wireframe. Still not sure if this is what you are after.

possibly 2 shapes on top of each other, thereby cancelling each other out, and showing the default grey

Thanks Guys,

So there is no way of changing it to white?

in 1.56 its tools -> options -> vinyl tab - default background color

but its default grey for a reason -- so you can see white vinyl elements

Thanks that makes since as it is being printed on white vinyl.

How do I change back to spot colors?

Under print options unselect print as process?

Thanks , where is print options?

I went to tools options, images, and Spot color is selected.

It's in the Plot window after you output to print-the 123 symbol.

I don't see that on mine cause I have the Demo Version

If this is before you output check your "View" settings.

since its a vector object, tools -> images -> x will do nothing, its not an image

you have to select each vector component and choose colors from your palletes to the left

Great that worked but my colors are to the right,

It chnage the color to the spot colors but the CYMK colors are still there with the spot color, will this effect anything?

Sorry,

am just practicing on Omega 5.0 so I figured out how to import AI files.
And Know I imported a new file and the colors changed to CYMK,

The Gerber Spot colors are perfect for what am doing.

personally, I would start learning by designing within omega - get the basics down of foil selection, cut/not cut, knockout, overprint, etc

before trying to import and do all that
