FILE SETUP

Set up files at actual size to be printed. Layout multiple copies to make best use of media area. Media print width is 50".

CORELDRAW FILE SETUP

We are Macintosh based and do not use CorelDraw but for our use, export files as EPS format. Export text as "Curves", do not include an image header, and "Auto increase fountain steps" (to reduce banding that occurs with gradient filled vector objects). Files can also be exported as AI (Adobe Illustrator) format. Keep files simple as complex fills, gradients, object groups etc. don't translate well. All fonts must be converted to curves.
