Contour Cutting and Spot Color Printing
Using a ColorCAMM PRO you can print objects and then cut a contour line around them.Also you can print using a
Spot Color ribbon. To use such features, you have to install and use special color libraries in your design application
such as Illustrator or QuarkXpress. No special settings or changes is needed on Roland COLORCHOICE.
You can create objects using the following Spot Colors. All these objects will be printed using a special ribbon.
• Gold_Resin
• Silver_Resin
• Red_Resin
• Blue_Resin
• White_Resin
• Orange_Resin
• Green_Resin
Contour cutting lines can also be created using a special color
• CutContour
On your Roland COLORCHOICE Installation CD, you will find Color Library files for each application. If you are
using PhotoShop, you will not be able to print in Spot Colors and contour cut.
Adobe Illustrator 7
1 Copy the file ‘ColorCAMM PRO’, located in the ‘Spot Color Library:ColorCAMM PRO:Illustrator’ folder of the
Installation CD, to the Swatch Libraries folder of Illustrator.
2 Start Illustrator.
3 Open the file that you want to contour cut, if it’s not already open.
4 Select “ColorCAMM PRO” in the Window>Swatch Libraries menu to open the library.
All Spot and CutContour colors appear in the library.
5 To make a cutting line, select CutContour as the color for the paths that you would like to cut. To make an object
that will be printed using a spot color, just fill it using a Spot Color from the library.
You can change the color of the contour line or spot color by changing the Swatch Options. Remember, the color
mode should always be Spot Color.
6 Print the file as you normally would.
If the ColorCAMM PRO swatch library is unavailable for some reason, you can create a new swatch. Be sure that the
color names are the same as described above and set the color mode as Spot Color. We recommend that you specify
a color other than the default color to better see the contour line or spot colors on your display, and that it also be a
dashed line (for contour cut). When defined like this, the line will always be treated as a contour, regardless of its line
width.. For Spot Colors we recommend to select a color that can be easily identified.
