  • corel draw tip for better print quality?

    Sometimes we get customer files or scans that look ok on screen but print borderline colours in the wrong hue.
    an interesting tip discovered by accident but works for me is ;
    bring the image into corel draw (9) then right click edit bitmap .
    this takes you into corel photopaint. make a change like “resize to 99%” just so that you have done some editing then close and allow it to be updated in corel draw.
    you should find the printed image has changed for the better even though it looks no different on screen. presume this is something to do with rgb/cmyk but not sure.
    Another tip ;
    using “free” irfanview graphic editor (www.irfanview.com)
    load a graphic and choose resize. resize using lanczos mode and the image can be blown up to considerable size without major pixelation.

    certainly sounds like it would be worth trying, thanks.
    I have same problems but thought it was just my Rockhopper.
    I will try that idea next time I’m having these problems.
