  1. HELP!

    In Versaworks (newest); In Media tab > "Print Roland Color System Library" is greyed out now. I printed it out last March. Also, the Roland spots are noticeably different than March.

    Any ideas out there? I was going to reprint the (large) Roland spot colors and make new substitutions based on this new printout (because the spots i am using for a current job are quite different (than they were in March, but Versaworks WON'T print out the Roland library!


  2. Several of you are missing my point of this thread. Sure Flexi lists all the Pantones, but you still have to navigate through the library to get to the one you desire.

    Changing sort order to "name" is the best it is going to get in Flexi.

    In CorelDRAW, you simply double-click the fill icon, choose the "palette" tab (defaulting to Pantone solid coated), type in the desired Pantone number, and hit OK. Applies that specific Pantone to your object(s). Takes 1-2 seconds to find and apply a Pantone. Flexi (and Illustrator) definitely need to add this feature to their applications. It's back to Corel ("Illustrator on Steroids") for me...

    Thanks for trying, Everyone!


  3. No problem getting an answer from them (I AM registered). Here is their response:

    I'm bummed. There are over 1000 Pantones and they are sorted by color groups, not even sorted numerically.


  4. Yes, I tried "find" in the "Color Specs" roll-up. It will find Pantones, but how the heck do you apply this Pantone you found to an object(s) without having to scroll through the Pantone pallette(s).

    Ridiculous - or am I missing something?


  5. Yes, this is understood. My issue is locating a particular Pantone. You have to scroll through the Pantone table to find that Pantone you need to use. In Corel, you just type in a Pantone number or colr and it instantly appears, so you can apply it to your object(s). Is there ANY WAY to quickly locate a Pantone that is not already in your personal or document palette?


  6. I tried doing it in "Color Spec." I can find my desired color, but it does not apply to object(s). Am I missing something here? The only way I can get an object to accept a color is to use the swatch book at bottom (row) and go through all the Pantones (which are sorted by color groups, not numbers), then pick my desired Pantone. Will "color spec" allow me to apply a Pantone to object(s)?
