The Roland Color Library
The Roland Color Library is a great tool for achieving predictable color on your Roland Printer. In order to assist in the design stage of production, Roland VersaWorks (Version 2.6.2 and higher) includes Swatch Library files for CorelDraw. Designers simply install the color library into
CorelDraw and begin using the supplied colors in their design. Limitations in CorelDraw allow only one ColorPalette to be open at a time.
The following steps provide a great way to add the Roland Color Library to the Custom Spot Colors Palette with minimal amount of effort.
Tech Tip: Prior to installing the Roland Color Library, it is always a good idea to update both
the Roland VersaWorks application and the printer firmware. Refer to the document “Updating
Roland VersaWorks Application” for Software update instructions, and “Updatng Printer Firmware” for instructions on Firmware updates for Roland Printers.

Step 1
Under the Tools Menu, select Palette Editor.

Tech Tip: The Roland Color Library can by setup as the default Color Palette by simply selecting the Default Palette in the Palette
Editor and performing the Add Colors procedure to that palette. This will add all the Roland Colors to the Default Palette in Corel
which makes them easily accessable each time a document is opened.

Step 2
In the Palette browser, click on the “Plus” (+) Sign

Tech Tip: In addition to all the Roland Color Library Swatches, the Swatch Palette should also include the “CutContour” Swatch, the White
