The AI Import Options or CMX Import Options dialog box display when you choose one of
these filters. Within the AI or CMX Import Options dialog box are three tabs:
♦ Color Control tab allows you to import files as print or cut jobs.
♦ Profiles tab allows you to choose input and output color profiles. Use these controls to
achieve the best possible color translations.
♦ Layer Cut Options tab allows you to assign imported cut objects definitions.
When designing in Adobe Illustrator or CorelDRAW you can use custom Gerber palettes for
GerberColor Spot Colors or Gerber vinyl. Jobs created using Gerber palettes import into
Composer with more accurate color results. See "Using Gerber palettes in Adobe Illustrator or
CorelDRAW" for more information on loading and using the palettes.
Note: Adobe Illustrator 7.0 or higher files can be imported using the AI 7 thru CS – (GSP 2.5)
as Vectors (or as Image) filters, or saved as an earlier version of Illustrator, or exported to
another format such as CMX.
Tip: You can control the color conversion that occurs when importing CMX files into Composer.
See "Remapping colors when importing CMX files" for details on color management for CMX
files.
Using the AI, CMX, or EPS Import Options Color Control tab
The Color Control tab of the AI, CMX, or EPS Import Options dialog box gives you control over
how an AI (version 8 and below), CMX 5.0/6.0, or EPS file imports into OMEGA. When Vinyl
Only is turned on, the AI, CMX, or EPS file imports as a cut (vinyl) job. When Print Colors is
turned on, the AI, CMX, or EPS file colors translate to Gerber spot and process foil colors to be
printed by a Gerber imaging device.
