CorelDRAW Puns

Hi everyone,

we use a Roland VG2-640 printer at work and it setup with a separate orange and green ink cartridges - it allows for some super nice colors, but I can't figure out how to add those colors to CorelDraw X8 so I can use them there.

I have found all the regular RVW (Roland VersaWorks) color palette, but orange and green seem to have their own. I can only find the files for Illustrator, but that doesn't help me.

Basically they use an extra color apart from C M Y and K so I'm also wondering if there's anyway to access that in X8?

I found a guide that had me copying the userink file from the computer that runs the Versaworks RIP software to my work computer, but that didn't work.

Thanks in advance! :)

What is the current state of the job market around CorelDRAW? My wife has pretty high proficiency in CorelDRAW but struggling to find job as most of companies are working just with Adobe Illustrator (which she also knows, but like Corel much more). Are there specific areas where there is still demand in people who know CorelDRAW?

If I open a file on a regular screen, everything is fine, I can edit in and use the program normally. However, As soon as I move the CorelDRAW window to my Wacom Cintiq, the workspace turns black. I can see the objects in the Objects docker and also click them, but the entire workspace remains black.

I contacted "customer support", who did not even attempt to solve the problem but told me to buy the full version instead of the education version. I don't use it for commercial stuff, I just make illustrations as a hobby. I can't drop 600 Euros just to make it work on my drawing tablet - it's not even a given that the full version will work on the Wacom.

I started working at this job for a year now and I cannot figure out why the M2 OCCASIONALLY will NOT vector or engrave past 27 instead of the whole 40! The bed is 40x28 and we use it to cute and engrave into wood. I've desperately tried to ask epilog over and over and they think it's on the Corel side since it will work with my 2018 program we use for the second computer just fine. Corel is a pain and impossible to communicate with for any issues I've been having with the programs. So that's why I'm here, if anyone has an idea what to do or also has/had this issue I'd love to hear from ya. (I'm also unable to get any upgrades on our current programs and have updated the firmware on both machines as well as updated the softwares best I can) Dunno if this is the correct engraving reddit to ask but here goes nothin'! Thanks!

I'm not willing to pirate it nor to pay the full price, are some places in between?

Hi everyone, kind of a newbie here. I have to make about 25 datasheets/technical manuals of products we sell at work, and I'm struggling on the choice of a layout.

The old ones were made using CorelDraw, which offers a good number of features for layouts of single pages, like you can choose exactly where to put some photos, texts, etc, but it doesn't offer consistency across different manuals, unless copypaste of course, which is not ideal in case of future modifications.

So the obvious choice would be using a LaTeX template, but I don't know how suitable it would be to create a "complex" layout, sort of a table like the following:

And this layout is different on the second page, and still different on the third page, and so on.

How difficult would be to use a single template (or a small number of them) and to recompile all the datasheets in case of a template modification? Is it even possible to do something like this?

Should I stick to CorelDraw and copy paste every time I edit the layout (which hopefully doesn't happen often)?

Thank you in advance.
