Working in Curves is the most
flexible method when opening an
EPS file in CorelDRAW.
Printing Terms to Know
"Live area," "safety," and "bleed" are terms with which you may
not be familiar. They are used in the context of printing, whether
it's sublimation or any other process.
Live area refers to the sublimatable face (coated area) or printed final area of the product. Safety refers to an area smaller
than the live area for information that will not get cut off when
applied to the final product.
Bleed is an area larger than the live area - an extra portion of
the design that will go off the product edge. For example, if
you press a tile that goes into a box and the tile is 5" x 7",
the safety would be 4.75" x 6.75" and the live area would be 5"
x 7", while the bleed area would be 5.25" x 7.25".
A template also can help you
deterimine the live area and
bleed for a simple square shape.
the PowerClip function that has been available,
going as far back as CorelDRAW version 10.
Next, place your image by dragging and
dropping it into the CorelDRAW file. You
may need to resize the image to fit the drawing
template properly. To resize the template while
maintaining proportions, click on the image
and drag one of the corners while holding
down the shift key. Once sized, right-click
on the image file and from the very top of
the drop-down menu, select PowerClip. An
arrow icon will appear; put the arrow icon
over the bleed area of the drawing and click.
The image is now pasted inside the template
shape. If you need to resize the template once
you've used the PowerClip function, simply
right-click it and choose "Edit PowerClip"
from the drop-down menu. Then you can
resize or make edits to the image. Once you
are done, right-click again and choose "Finish
this PowerClip Level."
You may not currently use templates, but
doing so can save you time, frustration and
even ink, as you won't print what the shape
doesn't need. You can find templates on many
distributor and manufacturer websites, but if
you don't see templates offered for products you
are purchasing, contact the brand's customer
service department for further assistance.
