There's a much easier way to do this. Window > Color Palettes > Pantone Solid Coated Use colors from this palette when when applying fills/outlines, just make sure you use the same color swatch for a given color in the design; if you use two different shades of a color, even if they LOOK the same, Corel will treat them as different colors. In the Print dialog box, click the "Color" tab and switch from "Composite" to "Separations." Then click the "Separations" tab. The Pantone colors you used in the design will appear in a box at the bottom. You can uncheck ones you don't want to print, like a distress overlay color or background color. The printer will now print your separations.

That is correct! You can also use Pantone spot colors and then print them out as separations! There is still a challenge in underbase creation and selective trapping of different areas of colors - that is the reason I do the longer version of this - if you need to send out the seps as a different format, underbase the design, or selectively trap areas of the colors it is easier when the design is split into different pages.

@@screenprintartist For underbases/trapping/choking, I usually create a new page in the document, duplicate the design, and then simply apply a "Pantone Transparent White" fill to all objects I want underbased. If I need it trapped/choked, I add an outline that is usually 1pt or 2pt (I use an Anatol press, so registration usually is tight). But there really is no need to create multiple pages (one for each color in the design).

hot keys are great, but it would be nice to see how you did some things without

Yes, I understand - this is a struggle as viewers often become impatient at different levels of experience - I can make some different videos that test this and see how it is received - thanks for the feedback
