CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X3 :: Printing Too Large?
May 7, 2011
I'm using Corel X3 graphics. Windows Vista. HP officejet pro 8500a premium printer. I'm trying to print a file I used to print all the time. It's a map with bitmaps. I must have accidently changed some settings in CDX3 because now it prints too large--it won't even fit on the page. I've tried changing every print setting that relates...Fit to Page, etc. I also restarted corel while holding down the F8 key to reset the factory defaults. I've re-installed Corel 3 times! I'm at my wits end.

exporting my CorelDrawX6 files as a high quality jpg for large scale printing purposes. In X4 it was very easy - just export as usual to the highest quality cmyk jpg and open in Photo Paint... now when I export this way it takes forever to bring up the preview page and most of the time it ends up being blank. Sometimes even crashes. I have played with all options in the filter dialog menu that I can find but nothing works. Thought it might be a file size problem but never had that problem in X4 and anything under 200dpi will not be high enough quality.

i´m using CRD since X3 so I think i´m quite experienced with all the crashes and uncompatibilities but now I have a problem which I can´t solve.
I made a graphic project which is quite large (2,6m x 2,0m @ 300dpi) and including raster grahics. The CDR file itself has about 400MB. When I tried to export this graphic to the png or jpg at the current size Corel X5 always crashes. I tried almost everything on many computers but always the same problem.
It looks like the project is too large for export. At this moment I desperately need to export the file to jpg or png at full resolution. Maybe X6 is more stable when exports or I have to simplify the project somehow but...
FILE IS UPLOADED here and I need to have it 2,6m x 2,0m: [URL]

I'm having size problems after importing and changing files. Look at this print screen, how this 2.73 mb Photo sizes up to more than 15 Mb without me doing anything?
I used to work with X3 but after updating to X5, this problem turned up.

I haven't experienced my contour offset 'jumping' in too large increments.....BUT
my contour offset tool is not working like it used to.
Only rarely would I receive the message 'contour offset too large' when offsetting a bezier curve .025"
Whenever this would happen I would then reduce my nodes or convert them to cusp or smooth. This would almost always fix the 'countour offset too large' problem.
I've reset Coreldraw to factory default but still have this problem with certain lines.
All of my software is up to date.

I'm trying to open a large file (1.2gig) but corel is having a error reading (dialoge box pop up). I have another file 1.19 gig which takes a few minutes to open but is fine.
I have 2gig ram so just wondering what the limit for file size in x3 file is? The file in question was running sweet yesterday so I didn't realise it was so large.
Is there any way to recover the contents ? I can see it in preview so I don't believe it is corrupt....the back-up has the same issues.

I have been running crazy trying to email a poster over to my printer. She asked the file to be put into pdf format and to keep it in cdr format. I've done that but I keep reaching the limit on my email. How exactly can I send the file over in both pdf and cdr without going over the size limit?

We have tried this on 5 different machine configurations from XP (SP3) to windows 7 (SP1).
We do magazine outlays and therefore require large files. As soon as we go above certain size ( about 1.7GB), then the file will save. But try and open the file then we get an error. Disassembling the file gives an error on opening hte RIFF file. Try and import then erro is "cannot import empty file".
Quite a few people have given advice on using smaller files, but that is impractical. Our only viable solution at the moment is using files split into 10 to 20 pages each. Importing all the section, then creating the PDF and do not bother to save the complete file. We even went as far as building a test machine with up to 24GB of RAM and all the bells & whistles and only windows barebone + updates, no other 3rd party software except Coreldraw X5.
what the size of file is that Coreldraw X5 can handle? WHere are the limitations and is there a swap file setting?

I am working with some very large images in X5, ~ 2500 mm x 1200 mm at up to 600 DPI sometimes. (And before you say it, yes, I do need this. It is a very specific application that we work on daily and I do need the ability to basically control every single pixel at that size & that resolution). I'm using WinXP 32-bit (company mandate).
When I need precisely sized objects, I am using CorelDRAW and occasionally when I need pixel perfect placement, PhotoPaint gets the call. The images may go through both before it runs through a final backend processor (some specialized software) and then going to print.
The problem is that I am running into limits when I go beyond 300 DPI (depending on the image dimensions). For example, CorelDRAW often will fail to export a TIFF correctly when I try a 450 DPI image at that size (some TIF file comes up but nothing can load it, it's corrupted). Or for even smaller images, if I enable transparent background, I also get a similar problem. Sometimes, e.g. Photo Paint, just chokes up with out of memory problem and fails to load images at all.
Thing is, we actually have Photoshop CS5 available and while there are many things I don't like about it, it actually can handle stuff of this size. So there is also a push to get Illustrator as well under the same assumption that it will work. However, Adobe stuff is way more expensive, feels more bloated and slower and (for me at least) a pain to use compared to Corel, so I'd rather not.
Would moving to 64-bit WinXP work? Or would I need to go to CorelDRAW X6? This is already a quad-core machine with 4GB of RAM.

Im new to both coreldraw, and to the graphtec cutter, so my problem may have a very simple answer. Ive been playing around with it, learning how things work. Smaller images are no problem, but Im having trouble cutting larger images.
the plotter can cut up to a width of 610mm, and Im using 610mm vinyl. I need to cut some items that are 600mm wide. First time I tried, it left a gap on the left side of approx 50mm. It also stopped cutting approximately 20mm from the right side. next time, I loaded the vinyl into the machine 45mm further right and tried again. this time the left hand edge was positioned where I expected, but the right side still stopped in the same place as previously, leaving a gap of around 70mm on the right hand side. you would think I was trying to cut something bigger than the capacity of the cutter, but obviously this isnt the case.
if I have missed any necessary information etc, Im very new to all of this.

X5 Recently have begun missing parts of print out. Tried to duplicate but appears completely random.
Output to both Full colour laser and Wide Format printers will miss either text or part of objects. Today printed the text but not the text effects. Initially closed and reopened, rebooted, However this has become a now daily feature so regardless tried reprint from the same screen so next print has everything included.
Very costly and time consuming - print preview shows all correct but output is not the same.

I am producing an 10 x 5 foot trade show display for a client. Even though the image they chose is relatively large (18.7" x 12.5" at 300 dpi), when scaled up it will be about 64 dpi at final size.
I've read that such displays typically use 75-100 dpi images. Where do you find ultra high res stock images? The one we are using is from Istockphoto.

I installed X6 tonight and I'm now having trouble with my Extra Large Icons in Windows Explorer. When I switch to extra large icons the first few show up correctly (CDR, JPG, GIF, etc.) but most of the rest of the GIFs and JPGs show as Corel icons. I can refresh, reload, and they still stay Corel icons. The only way to get the preview thumbnails again is to switch back to large or medium icons and then refresh. But if I switch back to extra large icons I get the same thing again. What's particularly odd is that all the Corel file formats preview correctly as extra large icons, but only a few of the GIFs and JPGs do. I have already removed and reinstalled X6 and the Corel Windows Shell Extension.
If you run the Icon size slider up, the preview thumbnails for the GIFs and JPGs change to Corel Photopaint icons as soon as you go above large icon size.
I have Win7 Pro running on an Intel i7-3820 and have updated Corel to the X6.2.
Also, I do not have any icon viewer applications installed.
I browsed around a bit and didn't see this particular problem listed.

In an effort to free up space on our company server I have been tasked with archiving and/or deleting files, of which a large amount are cdr files. So my question...yesterday out of a design subfolder I deleted around 1700 backup files comprising 19GB of file space. It would be except for one thing, deleting 19GB out of that one folder cleared up 160GB of space on our server.I have double checked my file counts, sizes, folder counts, etc before and after I deleted the files and everything adds up except for the 19GB deleted cleared up 160GB of space. These files were mostly last saved with x6, though some of them were probably first created with x4.

Is there any way for CorelDraw X6 to export very large TIFF files? e.g. greater than 30,000 pixels in each dimension? I am currently running X5 on XP 32-bit and it cannot seem to handle it, even though Photo-Paint appears to have the ability.I finally manage to get our IT guys to give me a Win7 64-bit test machine for me to trial X6 64-bit, but seems to only do marginally better than my X5 installation. The test machine already has 7GB RAM installed plus a very, very large drive.I also had to run the same test on Adobe Illustrator and it was able to deal with this very quickly and smoothly, no troubles at all.You may find it hard to believe, but I actually like using CorelDraw :-), which is so far the standard package for our company, but if I cannot get X6 doing what we want, I'm afraid it's the end of the line.

Recurring problem i'm having with bitmaps im trying to export to our large format printer. Some bitmaps are coming up with a grey type filter or lens that corel is automatically putting over my photo.
When i export this' filter' remains on the picture.
If i hit 'edit bitmap' the photo comes up normal with all the colours as it should be. Hit 'save' and it goes straight back to having a grey filter over it? Its only with some photos and the other ones are the same profile on the same page? It seems to be always the physically largest one in size (not dpi) I have tried converting to a cmyk bitmap instead of RGB.

I am running CorelDraw x5 Graphics Suite on Windows 7. When publishing to pdf on even simple corel files it is saving a pdf size of over 1.5GBs! The screenshot below is a 57 page corel file ALL text and vector with NO bitmaps images. Publishing to pdf creates a file size 1.59GBs. Is there a patch that is out that resolves this issue?

After fairly smooth sailing for using X6 I ran into a problem that's caused me to switch back to X5 for the time being :(
I work in files that have thousands of individual characters in them. In X5 if I wanted to change the color of about 10,000 individual characters it would take about 3 seconds to do so. If I do the same thing in X6 I takes at least 30 minutes (or longer, I just killed it by that time).
Working with large amount of texts is incredibly slow X6, not just 5 or 10% or slower, doing somethings takes up to 10x times as long.....
I know there is a lot of features for text in X6 but this decrease in speed puts a complete block in my workflow. Maybe Corel could have a feature that individual text characters have minimal properties associated with them or something?
Here are my specs:
windows 7 64bit with office 2010 installed
Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2600K CPU @ 3.40GHz
NVIDIA Quadro 4000
16.0 GB ram

I have a design on one layer, and a boundary line around the design on another layer. visually on the screen they both line up . However, when I print the images, they do not line up - they are significantly out of line with each other. It is as if they have been printed to different paper settings., for example the registration marks are not line up.

I have just had to install Windows 7 64 bit and now find that when I print to my HP Business Inkjet 2300, I can only print 1 page. If I set the quantity to 5, I still get just 1 page. HP won't be updating the driver as they say that the printer is obsolete although they are still selling it.

Have created a customised label equivalent to Avery L6008 - very small labels 7 across and 27 labels down. Prints perfectly. However, I would like to be able to vary the design and print different labels across the 7 columns. Either at the creation stage - use the template and select which column is utilised or at the printing stage restrict the printing to 1 column only. Does this make sense?
These are for some Geocaching buddies who want their own name on the labels and a full sheet of 189 labels is too much.

I am using X4 for use in my dye sublimation business. I have an image that was provided to me from my customer. I created a template in Coreldraw, sized the photo to fit and power clipped it into the template. I than created the text the customer wanted and placed it over the image. I than grouped everything together and printed the image. When it prints, the only thing that prints is the template border and the text. I than took the same template and text and power clipped a completely different image into it. Sent it to the printer and voila, no problem.
The image the customer sent to me is a .jpg image. I don't understand why it won't print. Is it possible there is some sort of code or something within the image that is preventing it from printing ? It sounds far fetched to me but I had to ask. If I export the completed image as seen on the screen to a Jpeg and view it on the screen, the powerclipped background is there.

file type: channeled .eps file created in photoshop (my 'goto' for screenprinting seps)
system: windows 7, coreldraw x6
problem: once imported into CorelDraw, in the print dialog the pre flight will analyze the document and it takes forever; if it does not crash, once completed every other function takes forever to edit (Ex: to deselect a spot color will take 15-20 seconds to implement)- then when printing, errors occur.
1) previous versions of Coreldraw does not have this problem
2) this happens with all printers, even pdf print driver.
3) workaround that works: save the channeled eps file as a Photoshop file.

I do not understand the process to print my document on A3 printer.My document is a small A5 booklet of 8 pages . My layout options are as follows. Map folds Side 105 x 148.5 Binding left.CorelDraw on my desk I have a document giving the property the following 210 x 297 min (A4). When I send my document to print on A3 printer (HP 2800 pcl), I end up with four pages on the first fold of my A3 though logically I should end up with two pages per folds.So what is the right method for this type of work?

I am creating a brochure in X3 and when I do a test print one of the layers is not printing. Although I have actively used layers in Autocad, I don't mess with them much in CorelDraw. However I do move objects from front to back and vice versa.
When I started having this problem I went to the object properties to see if the layer was turned on. It was. I don't know if it is related but when I do a print preview the whole program becomes uncharacteristically unstable and shuts down.

When you extract everything from a powerclip, the object that was the powerclip retains it's powerclip state. The biggest problem is when it no longer has any contents, that big X appears across the object to show that it's an empty powerclip. OK, I can deal with that or ignore it, but the problem is, the thing acts like it's part of the object as far as printing goes, and that I can't have. This can't be the way it was originally intended to work? Shouldn't it be just an on-screen indicator, and not a physical part of the object now? I know I can revert the object back to a "normal" object, but it seems to be just another useless step that shouldn't be needed.
What I'd like to see is an option that when a powerclip no longer has any objects inside, it automatically reverts to a normal object like in previous versions of Draw. Of course, it's too late now, that will never happen. If anything, it should be possible to have the empty powerclip X indicator be changed over to a "phantom" object that is only shown on screen and doesn't exist in any other way so that it doesn't print or otherwise effect the drawing.
Great, it shows up in PDFs too. Looks like I'll have to get used to hitting that "No Frame" button every time I hit the "Extract Contents" button. Or maybe I'll write a macro to do both and link it to a toolbar button. Reminds me of a post I made about Corel Script in version 6 (yes, six, not sixteen) where it allowed us to write our own "feature" fixes when options were removed for no good reason.

Just a guess but with 64 bit Coreldraw maybe we would be able to Print Merge large files without crashing or having to break it into digestible bits.
Do vector conversion of complex images.Use Coreldraw like a publishing program, - kick Indesign
Computer memory is no longer the issue - 32 bit computer programs are.Until then I will stay with X4. run in Windows 7, 64 bit with 12 Gigs RAM.
