X8, tries to print white

With X4 and X7, when you choose White 0,0,0,0 the printer knew it and didn't print anything.

However in X8, it tries to print white (I have a 4 color printer, no white ink), it prints an off-white color. When exporting, I can check the box for (convert spot colors to cmyk) and it works, but when you do that, you cannot contour cut, because your lines become cmyk. By the way my RIP software is Versaworks.

How do you bypass this so it ignores white? Thanks

Have you changed any of the printer settings? What kind of printer are you using?

I have a Roland VP540i and I never touch the settings of it other than your normal cutting force, speed and maintenance.

If this changed with the new version, try turning off the usr embedded profile option on the quality tab in VW. I bet three new Corel came with a 'better' form of color management.

I had the same issue using corel2017 (using pdf) ,exporting as eps was the only way it would work for me other than cutting the white part of your design thru all the layers, making it have no fill

Just upgraded to the truevis roland series and now have no issues, using versaworks dual
