The Transparency tool sits in CorelDRAW toolbox menu on the left under Interactive tools group. Lots of cool effects are achieved with combining simple transparencies, but it you to know how. If I use white I don't have to worry about it generating another color separation in the printing process.CorelDRAWs transparency tool can really make a difference for your web-to-print templates. The only time I use white in my design is where I am needing to knock out a part of the color of an object. I use color Pantone 7541 C (a very pale color) because it is at the end of the the Pantone solid-coated pallet and easy to find all the time. replace any white in your design with a Pantone color. Instead use a paler blue Pantone color for you second color.įinal note on printing White for beginners: Desktop printers cannot generate white ink and therefore will not print the white in your design in your separations.

Note: If you wanted a process blue to fade out into a paler shade of blue do not use a transparency value of process blue to make it pale. your fill will convert to CMYK and it will take you forever to figure out why your object is not spot color. Do Not USE "Custom Fill" If you do this and generate an extra color in your mix. Choose 2 color fill, Color 1 being Process Blue. On the fountain fill screen click the "Advanced" button. (This IS NOT A TRANSPARENCY.) To Acheive this use the Fountain fill to fill your object. say Process Blue to Color 2, Pantone Yellow C. Color fading into another color In this method you want your object to fade from Color 1. You may not see the fade-out until you actually print your separations as Corel sucks that way.)Ģ. however it does not show up on your screen well. commonly used for web images and not really intended for screen printers but it works. Choose the 2-Color fill (not the custom fill). On the Fountain fill screen click on the "Advanced" button. In this method you fill your object with a FOUNTAIN fill of 100% of your color. Color fading out to nothing Your objective is to fade your object so that one end of it fades out into nothing. There are two types of Gradients: (People tend to confuse these and try to use a transparency value to achieve a paler shade of their original fill color. Now for achieving "Gradients" (a photoshop term for fading colors) I use the color palette Pantone Solid-coated and have used it to customize my own little pallet of colors I use frequently. Every Pantone color you use in your design will print on a separate color separation. Using CMYK (my least favorite way, but sometimes it will get you out of a bind you cannot figure out) - Your object must be filled with only one of the colors - for instance a square shape filled with ONLY CMYK Yellow will print on a different separation than a circle shape filled with ONLY Cyan.Ģ. In some industries we need to use spot color for color separations when printing.

In this article I am assuming the reader knows the difference between CMYK 4 color-process printing and Spot color printing and also knows how to print a color separation. Spot color transparencies and fountain fills are tricky so I wanted to write a quick how-too and some tricks I have learned because I was trying to solve an issue I was having and it took me a couple hours to figure out my problem. I use Corel version 12 and sometimes 14 (hate this version) for screen printing art.
