The price depends on how many colors are in the logo. The logo is a single letter H gradient filled from dark red to purple) If I had to guess, I would say it has 4 colors but I don't know if halftones count or what. Since the supplier is charging extra per color, I really need to know how many colors there are. I sent the logo to the supplier but they don't seem to be sure either.<br /> My question is, how do I do color separation in either CorelDraw or Corel Photo Paint to see how many colors there actually are?<br /> Thanks in advance<br /> Becky<hr /><a name="a5835_2"></a><p><b>From: Stunt Engraver (DGL)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=5835.2">#2</a>]<br /> 24 Jan 2007<br /><b>To: Becky (KIAIJANE)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=5835.1">#1</a>] 24 Jan 2007</p> Becky,<br /> <br /> You're describing what's known as a <i>gradient</i>, or in Corel, a <i>fountain fill</i>.<br /> <br /> If the decals will be printed digitally, there shouldn't be a concern over the number of colors. Color separations wouldn't be necessary.<br /> <br /> If the decals will be screen printed, color separations will be necessary, although, the output probably won't render as smooth a transition, as what you're viewing on your monitor or in a printout. <br /> <br /> I think I'd be looking for someone to create the decals digitally.<p class="edit_text">EDITED: 24 Jan 2007 by DGL</p> <hr /><a name="a5835_3"></a><p><b>From: Harvey only (HARVEY-ONLY)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=5835.3">#3</a>]<br /> 24 Jan 2007<br /><b>To: Becky (KIAIJANE)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=5835.1">#1</a>] 24 Jan 2007</p> <p>I think that you cam do a color separation in the print box.</p> <p>Corel 9. 'Print', then go to the 'Separations' tab. Check the box that says 'Print separations'.</p> <p>That will print out four sheets of black/white. They will be for Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Black.</p> <p>If you have Adobe Acrobat Professional you can also print to a PDF.</p> <hr /><a name="a5835_4"></a><p><b>From: Becky (KIAIJANE)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=5835.4">#4</a>]<br /> 24 Jan 2007<br /><b>To: Harvey only (HARVEY-ONLY)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=5835.3">#3</a>] 24 Jan 2007</p> Harvey and David-<br /> Thank you for reminding me of 2 very important things in this thread....<br /> <br /> 1.
