Pantone, CMYK, RGB and Hex differences in Xara Designer Pro X

[ClubleyM]

Xara works in an RGB environment. CMYK as you know cannot print the same number of colors. The colors on the bottom are pretty much what I would expect the printed results to be.

Thanks for your reply.

I understand that Xara works in an RGB environment, but I would hope that when you pick a spot colour or a CMYK colour that it would print that colour.

The colour in the screen grab at the top is how Xara is showing exactly the same colour on various squares...

When we print, the colours are coming off wrong too..

If you use Xara, try recreating those colours we have in the example, and print them off locally on a colour printer.. Does your Xara do the same? If so, then surely we shouldn't ever use Pantone Colours or CMYK colours in our designs as they will never match what is expecting upon printing.
