Hi gang,
I'm hoping someone out there is familiar enough with Corel to help me figure out my current challenge in getting decals printed. Referencing the image below, here's what I'm trying to do:
- the grey background is just for illustration to help show the white border.
- the Logo is Green with a white outline. The letters overlap a little bit (this overlap is the troublesome part)
- The a) version is basic text with a 1pt white outline on it.
- The guy helping me with printing on an Alps printer needs the layers separated so he print the white, then green on top ( 2 passes through the printer)
- Goal is to print on clear decal paper, so a white underlay is required to help give the green the require opaqueness
- I can create the white layer quite easily and have done that inside or Corel
- When I try to "combine" the letters into one "object" I get extra white outlines (The diagonals of the V show in the G & R)
- In traditional image editing, I would just merge and magic wand the green text. But Corel/vector artwork seems to be different.
- I'm sure I need to use some combo of the Eraser and/or Knife tool, but so far my experiments have not worked out as I hoped.
Basically... B + C = A
Any suggestions or guidance?

(I did the image above in image editing software, and not the vector based Corel that I need the final format to be in)
