Installing Roland Color into Corel

The Roland Color Library is a great tool for achieving predictable color on your Roland Printer. In order to assist in the design stage of produc-tion, Roland VersaWorks (Version 2.6.2 and higher) includes Swatch Library files for CorelDraw. Designers simply install the color library into CorelDraw and begin using the supplied colors in their design. Limitations in CorelDraw allow only one ColorPalette to be open at a time. The following steps provide a great way to add the Roland Color Library to the Custom Spot Colors Palette with minimal amount of effort.

Installing Roland Color Library

Step 1Under the Tools Menu, select Palette Editor.Step 2In the palette editor select “Custom Spot Colors” from the pull down menu on the top (it should be in the User Palettes folder). Click on the “Add Color” Button.

Tech Tip: The Roland Color Library can by setup as the default Color Palette by simply selecting the Default Palette in the Palette Editor and performing the Add Colors procedure to that palette.
