Contour Cutting
Adobe Illustrator 7
When using Adobe Illustrator with a hybrid device such as the CAMM JET, you can print objects and then cut a contour line around
them. Follow these steps to send Illustrator files with contour cut lines:
1 Copy the file “CAMM_JET.ai”, located on 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 “CAMM JET” in the Windows\Swatch Libraries menu to open the library.
“CutContour” appears in the library.
5 Select CutContour as the color for the paths that you would like to cut. You can change the color of the contour line by
changing the Swatch Options. Remember, the color mode should always be Spot Color.
6 Print the file as you normally would.
If the swatch library is unavailable for some reason, you can create a new swatch. Be sure to begin the swatch name with
“CutContour” 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 on your display, and that it also be a dashed line. When defined like this, the line will always be treated as a
contour, regardless of its line width.
CorelDRAW 8
Setting up the palette
1 Copy a file 'userinks.cpl', located in the ‘SpotColor Library\Cammjet\CorelDraw’ folder of the Installation CD to the
following folder to overwrite the same file Corel\Graphics8\Custom\Palettes. Or, if you want to keep the existing 'User
Defined Inks', please add a new color by following the remaining steps:
2 Click Tools>Palette Editor.
3 Open the 'User Defined Inks' palette by exploring following folders:
• Corel\Graphics8\Custom\Palettes\userinks.cpl
4 Create a new color in the color palette with CMYK model, and press the 'Add >>' button. The new color is named 'unnamed
color'. Change it to 'CutContour'. Any other name should not be used.
