Creating an underbase in Corel
« on: July 30, 2012, 06:38:32 PM »
Customer sends this art printing on Navy tees so I do not the Navy outline in the art underbased. When I create underbase in Simple Seps it underbases the blue which I dont need. How would you do it? And of course I need to print these by noon tomorrow. What I am trying to do is PFP the underbase and then put the orange on top. 2 screens total.

I don't know Corel enough but can't you select the blue and then use a pathfinder type tool to "cut out" the orange that is below the blue (probably have to expand everything) then remove the blue and poof!

That should work perfect. Thank you! Now what steps did you take that I could not figure out?

....I actually just did it manually.Made page a PMS Blue, and then turned all blue objects that same color. For the orange, converted outlines to objects. Added reg's, centered, grouped, then copied. Made second page and pasted the clone.
 
...On page one, recolored all white objects to background blue, then added 1/2pt orange outline to orange objects. On page two, recolored all orange objects to white.

....Now, if this were a more complex design, I may have printed the orange sep first, then used the color styles docker to drag white over the orange, changing the color of all orange objects. But this one was quicker to do manually.
Thanks TSB gang!!

In simple seps, you can just convert colors you don't want underbased to black since the program doesn't underbase black. 

If you have black and additional colors you don't want underbased, just copy the design to another page, covert the colors you don't want underbased to black, the run the seps creating only the underbase. 

Delete the copied design, go back to the original, and run the seps from there without the underbase.

Here, I made a file of how I do this in Simple Seps when needed.
