Can't help you too much with SignPal or Corel Draw as I use the CS4 and CS6 suites, but Versa Studio picks up on particular spot colours for different tasks.
For example: Anything you want white needs to be a spot colour selected from a swatch labelled a particular name so VersaWorks knows what you want it to do. It's the same with cut paths.

For cut paths: Select a colour you like from a swatch and change it to a "spot colour" or the equivalent name in your software of choice (someone else may be able to help you with that) and then name it CutPath Assign this spot colour to a stroke or outline in your application and set stroke/outline width to 0.25mm. Any thicker and I believe the BN-20 will just print it like a regular colour.

For printing white: The same as above applies. Create a spot colour from the swatch and label it RDG_White The colour does not matter so long as it is a 'spot colour'. Assign this colour to whatever you want to be white and print away.

Test print first. Good luck!

that would be like making remote control cars and saying you are in the automotive industry...:noway:

edit: now that I think about it, it could be for all the interior stuff that needs labeling.

anywho, sorry for the :thread...carry on :Big Laugh
