exporting from coreldraw as an eps
We have designed our new catalogue in coreldraw and the printers need it in an eps format, we can export out of corel but the file sizes are ending up extremely high and the quality seems to vary greatly, has anybody any ideas. We are using coreldraw 7.

It is not uncommon for eps files to be very large especially if you have used high resolution images and effects. Make sure that you are using a common colour model ie if Pantone – everything Pantone – if cmyk everything cmyk, don’t mix it may not separate the way you expect. From Corel you can do a test separation from the print preview. Don’t import the eps into Corel to test using the postscript interpreted filter, it isn’t that good and accurate in V7, the EPS filter though will only show the header/preview and will only print correctly to a postscript printer.
Hope this helps a bit

Don’t talk to me about exporting as an eps from Corel. 👿
I have had nightmares about this lately. I run Corel 11 and have had no probs in the past but just lately my RIP package won’t open seven out of ten eps files from corel. The other day l very nearly picked up my monitor and threw it into the workshop, l was sweraing and shouting very loud. The lads in the unit next door popped there head in to see what the fuss was all about because of the noise. I ended up having to export as a jpeg, open with photoshop, save as a photoshop eps, then open with the Roland RIP. 😥 Many hours of the week wasted. -
Thanks for the help – we managed to improve quality by converting everything to curves and then saving as an eps file and then pasting images back into the file and whacking up the dpi – it still gave us massive files though!
