Accessing the Gerber vinyl and foil palettes in CorelDRAW
Note: The following procedure uses CorelDRAW 10 and Windows XP. Procedure steps and
results may vary in earlier versions of CorelDRAW and other operating systems.
Once you have loaded the Gerber vinyl and foil palettes to the Corel/Graphics/Custom/
Palettes folder they are available in CorelDRAW.
Gerber vinyl and foil palettes are RGB files. When you design in CorelDRAW using Gerber
palettes, the fills are in RGB color mode. The RGB color mode provides the best color
conversion results.
To access the Gerber vinyl and foil palettes in CorelDRAW
1 Click Start > Programs > CorelDRAW to open CorelDRAW.
2 Click Window > Color Palettes > Open Palettes to open the Open Palettes dialog box.
3 Click a Gerber vinyl or foil palette from the list.
4 Click Open. The chosen palette displays on the right side of the CorelDRAW work
space. Drag the palette onto the desktop if you prefer. You can have multiple palettes
open at the same time.
