Hi All!
I have a slight issue every time I open a image in Coreldraw and cut, A box appears with my cut line around my image even though my image has no background.
Please help as I do not know where to go from here, I have attached a image below.
Thank You
image has no background but is still raster image. not a vector.
Only vector images will be able to hold cutlines.

How Do I get around this issue as I do not have Vectorworks.
Another youtube video showing the process of putting cutlines around raster or bitmap images, similar to the link I posted on another of your threads asking the same question!Quote:

For my Silver Bullet cutter I do all my vectorising with Vector Magic.

I use the desktop edition.
Thank You guys, I have figured it out.
My Roland BN20 does not seem to be producing a rich deep Black it has a grey tone how do I get it a Solid black.
Sorry for all the questions I am new to the printing scene
Thanks
That's an issue that I've had - one way around it is to turn your blacks into RGB black, rather than CMYK black. I've not investigated further, which I probably ought to, but this method works perfectly, so I've expended efforts in other directions...
How do I go about changing them to RGB do I do this on Corel when cutting or in Versaworks?
I may start a thread o this topic to see how other people have dealt with this issue.
I'm not a BN-20 owner, but have you not tried removing the background from your image and saving as a transparent PNG instead of a JPG?
Did you pay the dealer to set it up??? If you did then they should have sorted all this out for you, you would be happily printing away by now.Quote:

Does that mean Versaworks can't vectorise a simple png within the software? Most other cutter software does this no problem.Quote:

Ah, I see, thanks Paul.
this has been a very helpful thread, - we get our versacamm next tuesday!
excited!!
Versaworks comes with instructions on how.to load colour palette with cut contour colour required to put cutline around you image, coreldraw is written into these instructions, you'll need to ensure the cut contour colour is set in your editing software whatever you use
I have sorted it out now thank you. The issue was my windows 7 (Home Edition) Versaworks does not recognise the cut lines only on windows 7 Pro , I had to change the settings to administrator in order for the cutlines to appear.:wink:
Unusual, we have 7 pro and home and both work with cutlines, perhaps you had a user account without admin rights.
