Appendix B: Using ColorSure™ and Custom

Palette in PowerDriver

I. Introduction

ColorSure is a method for reproducing exact spot colors. There are four main

components of the ColorSure System: 1.) The transferred palette; 2.) Color

Finder; 3.) Custom Palette; and 4.) The CorelDRAW and Adobe application

palettes / swatches.

1. ColorSure Palette: This is your main color palette that includes

commonly used colors.

2. Color Finder: If a color you need is not on the ColorSure Palette, the Color

Finder tool allows you to locate the exact custom color you are looking for.

3. Custom Palette: With the Custom Palette feature, you can add new custom

colors to the existing ColorSure Palette mentioned in step 1.

4. Application Palettes: You can add your Color Finder colors to an existing

application palette, or you can add multiple custom colors to new, custom

going to File, Print, and choosing the PowerDriver Printer from the pull-down

menu. Click Properties to open PowerDriver.

• Choose the paper size you will be printing the palette to (Letter, Legal, etc.)

transfer the palette to the previously selected substrate.

appear on that particular substrate.
