Importing files into Composer
File will contain print shapes for EDGE or MAXX
™
.
If on, shapes with strokes will be converted
(recommended).
If off, shapes with strokes only will be discarded. Shapes
with fills and strokes will only come through with fills.
Corel and Adobe treat gradients differently. Try turning
on this option on or off to achieve best results.
If the original file contains RGB fills:
•
they will be converted to reasonable EDGE CMYK colors (recommended)
•
or automatically mapped to a solid EDGE spot color (gradients become solid
spot fills)
•
or mapped to CMYK colors that may look washed out in Composer (not
recommended).
If the original file contains CMYK fills, the original CMYK values will:
•
remain the same in Composer (recommended)
•
or be auto-mapped to a solid EDGE spot color (gradients become
solid spot fills)
•
or be made to look brighter or more saturated in Composer.
Importing AI 1.1 thru 8.0 and CMX 5.0/6.0 files for vinyl
cutting
The AI 1.1 thru 8 - (GSP 2.1) as Vectors import filter can be used to import AI- Adobe Illustrator
or CMX - CorelDRAW
®
Exchange Metafile files for vinyl cutting. If you create a cut contour
layer, this filter can also maintain that information. This import filter works for:
♦
Adobe Illustrator 1.1 thru 8.0 files. (For AI version 9 and higher use the AI 7 thru CS –
(GSP 2.5) as Vectors
♦
CorelDRAW CMX 5.0/6.0 files
Note: It is best to convert all objects and text to curves when importing. Text not converted to
curves may be discarded.
Tip: This procedure provides quick instructions. For more detailed information on using the AI
1.1 thru 8 - (GSP 2.1) as Vectors or CMX-(GSP) CorelDRAW Exchange Metafile filters, see
“Importing AI, CMX, or EPS files using GSP filters.”
Tip: If you attempt to import an AI file with this filter and it fails, OMEGA offers the
alternative of importing the same file using the AI - GSP 2.5 as Vectors filter.
