If your using a Roland printer then VersaWorks comes with a color palette for Corel that works with the Roland Color System, that palette includes a CutContour swatch.

I believe it's located on the install disk, if you can't find it let me know and I'll email you a copy.

You don't even need to install the color swatch. In whatever program you are using, make a new color swatch, define it as spot color, name it CutContour (spelled exactly like that) and there you have it.

I usually use 100% magenta as my color definition.

now i need to how how to make a swatch with contourcut in flex?

 

[cgsigns_jamie]

You can use the Contour Cut feature in Flexi, it does the same thing but you have extra options like offset and shape.

ok named swat CutContour versa works don't recognize, loaded roland swatch put cutcontour and no go with that file as well,,exporting files as eps and bringing into versa as eps...anyone care to take a shot at whats wrong thanks..

Is "Cut all paths" selected in the Cutter tab/button?

How did you apply the contour cut, did you add a hairline stroke with the color defined as "CutContour"?

 

[ChiknNutz]

Yes, must be a line of hairline width, defined as a Spot color and must be called CutPath or CutContour (depends on the RIP).

i've found that flexi uses the width of .24 pt for the cut line, i use this in illustrator as well and works fine.
