How Do I Print Color Separation Using Corel Draw 9

[lulo]

I'm in the screenprinting business. Corel Draw was recommended to get my job done.
I'm trying to print my banner in separate colors but I don't see to get what I want to.
Example:
If I have two titles with 2 different colors I expect to get 2 pages with 2 different colors, 1 page for each title.

But instead what I get is 2 pages with 2 colors, each page still contains both titles one with original color and the other with a shadow color.

Does anyone knows how?

Thank you

Lulo

I'm not sure what type of files you are working with but I work with a screenprinter and here's how we handle separations in Corel Draw.

First let me say the majority of the designs we separate are rather simple, like cartoon characters for example, and in vector format. Each color is a flat spot color. I do not recommend using Corel Draw for four color process separations.

I set up the full color version of the design with the necessary crop marks and make additional duplicates of the design, one for each color in it. I then go thru each duplicate group and change the "target" color black and all the other colors white. If you have objects within your design that do not overlap the target color then you can just delete them. I do this until I have a camera ready version of each of the colors in the design and then print them out.

Unfortunately I haven't had much luck with Corel Draw's automated features when it comes to separtions. they seemed to be set up for 4-color process printing instead of screenprinting.

Hope this helps. Good Luck
