Arghh! Once again I get caught out with the new x5 liking CMYK, but not my Epilog. I upgraded to X5 for the better importing features from 11 and really like certain aspects of the program, but keep running into the whole CMYK thing.
I opened an old 11 file to use a logo for a company, added in the new text they wanted and of course the logo wanted to engrave in CMYK which gave a whole greyscale box around the entire thing. Not acceptable. In 11, the logo engraves almost like a line drawing. Plus all the text came in as CMYK also. That wasn't an issue since I was starting with new text. I just didn't catch the logo until I sent the job over.
When I start a new job, I have the defaults set to RGB, but does anyone have suggestions on how to make all my old files open RGB instead of CMYK?
This is going to be a PITA if I have to check all old files for use in X5.
Thanks
