CorelDraw export to Quark Express ?

2005-07-29, 7:33 pm

Hi everybody,

I'm using CorelDraw 12. I've been creating some artwork for a mini brochure
in full colour (CMYK). The printers I normally use are happy to accept the
artwork in JPEG file format. However I've been talking to another printer
who I would like to use in future and they tell me that they would prefer
the artwork submitted in Quark Express (for Mac) file format so that they
can separate the black.

This is the first time I've had to do this so I have a few questions I
really could do with some guidance and advice on.

Is it possible to export from CorelDraw 12 to Quark Express (Mac) format.
The installation I have doesn't seem to have an export filter for Quark. If
CorelDraw doesn't export direct to Quark format, is there an alternative
format that I could/should use.

Also as I use a PC, if I write the exported files to a CD, will the Mac be
able to access the CD?

Many thanks for advice offered.

why not just export to EPS - they should be able to *place* the EPS and
print that fine.

Export to EPS then inport in Quark.
Macs can access PC CDs.

Hi Neilr,

I agree with Frank -- find a printer who is willing to work with whatever
you supply. What this printer is suggesting is that you adapt to their
limited knowledge and resources. Doesn't sound like they are very
experienced at being a *service* provider.

That printer is an idiot stuck in the 1980's. Find a printer that will
take PDFs and be done with it.

sorry guys but all printers here want eps in quark or Indesign for a
catalog, but pdf is always accepted, and wouldn't need to deal with
quark at all. EVERY prepress place hates native corel, 95% won't take it, so
not an option.

You should NOT use jpeg formate for printing,
exporting a catalog as jpeg? Jpeg is for photographs, not layout.
Save images photographs as tiff or eps and drop them into a layout program
(quark or Indesign). You should be able to
give them this on a PC format or I agree dump the printer and find another.
Corel is not the greatest for layout, but for something small like an ad
or presentation folder, small brouchure it's good enough. If you use Corel,
then export as eps. The prepress place (printer) will drop it into quark on
their own and spit it out to an imagesetter. You don't have to do anything
special except you'll have to convert the fonts to curves if going to a mac
service bureau.

well they should work with him, but he has to output properly. His printer
is only doing what 95% of the industry uses. They should take eps, pdf,
indesign, quark, Illustrator (they even complain about that) SHOULD take
COREL, but nobody except my sign shop will touch it. For a brouchure, corel
would work fine, but export to eps. Make sure all images are cmyk first. Put
your own bleed in since they won't be able to adjust it, I put in my own
crops for most things, but the registration color in Draw, doens't work for
spot colors, but if CMYK you can use it. This bug really bugs me since it
never worked.
yes they should take PC files without complaint. if you don't outline the
fonts then they'll need the font used in your file. If they have no PC
output at all, don't use this printer and explain why and move on.

Many thanks for all the advice provided. It seems then that the two
realistic options are
a. export to EPS
b. export to PDF

Between the two formats, what is the groups consensus of opinion - EPS or
PDF ?

Since posting this enquiry I've been doing some more investigations and
tests. I have downloaded the demo version of Quark Express (for Windows)
and tried a few tests (export from CorelDraw to EPS - export from CorelDraw
to PDF) and imported them into Quark (Get picture) successfully. Quark is
entirely new to me and as yet I haven't been able to separate the elements
in the EPS or PDF. I realise this may not be possible, but as most of you
have advised either EPS or PDF then I will give the printer copies of both
formats on CD and see how it goes.

If this fails to satisfy then it will need to be the other piece of advice -
"find another printer" :(

Many thanks,

Neil

if you export to pdf you will need a full version of Acrobat, you print to
pdf in your print dialog box and it make a pdf file for you. The publish to
pdf built into corel is okay for showing comps and sending things for
review, but has bugs in it for professional output, so I've been told by
many.

I use eps, maybe I'm old school already...:-)

i've always used DRAWs built in PDF publisher, and *all* my files were right
on the money Gary, except for a few weeks ago when my printer had a ripping
problem with one of my files, was told that it had something to do with the
fonts not being embedded, inwhich i did embed them, and that they couldnt be
read, blah blah blah, to make a long story short, my file was dead. They
simply asked for my native DRAW file, i uploaded it to their server, and all
was printed well. In a haste to send my file, i hadnt converted the fonts to
curves, inwhich i *always* done in the past, and somewhere down the line
something screwed up during the publishing embedded font process. I had
never had a PDF file problem went outputting from DRAW before with this
printer, the print dude said it happens sometimes, 9 out of 10 times PDFs
will work fine, but their are those times when it goes bad, in any case,
.....its just my nickel and two copper cents.

Really, I must put in my two cents on this thread.

I have been working with Corel Draw now for 10 years. I work for a print
shop, and we are delighted to accept Draw files, of course, as it is our
flagship program. Our imagesetter only runs small film, so for our big
press we send our files out to a friend who we print for on our 26 inch 4
color Komori cheap and fast; in return he burns direct to plate for us cheap
and fast. He prefers PDFs, which I usually make directly out of Draw 12,
and he has never yet had a problem with any file I have created like this.
(I strongly disagree about Draw's PDFs being only good for comps and
reviews). We have PC and Mac versions of Quark which we only use when
necessary; we get files in Illy and Photoshop, not so much in Indesign yet
but I am sure we will. If we can't convert them for our friend, and I can't
bring them into 12, we send them to a service bureau friend who can do
almost anything, but on film, not direct to plate.

I was very surprised to hear you say the printer had asked for a jpg file .
... . this alone would make me suspicious of the prepress capabilities of
that printer.

Regards,

Sandy Freeman

Hi Sandy,

As I get older & wiser, I've come to realize that someone who's "staff"
on the other side of the counter is no guarantee that they are qualified
or competent in any way. Regardless of their industry.

Sometimes businesses just "fill in the blanks" with anyone they can get.
To keep things in perspective, no one is going to potentially "die" in
our business, unlike the food service industry. :-)

I've seen cases where a family member who needs the money is given the
job with zero experience & training - ultimately creating a tense
situation if the job goes bad, which is a coin toss. The person
eventually learns the hard way. And so does the customer, by learning to
qualify people down the line that he shouldn't have to.

i couldnt agree more, i experience it so much on a regular basis with some
bankers, suppliers, reps, etc., it drives me nuts, especially when some of
them try to pull rank and flex their so called *title* and *years of
experience* crap, as if *years of experience* for some actually equate to
knowledge & wisdom.

« but the registration color in Draw, doens't work for spot colors »
That's a problem I have. If you export to « .eps », registration color don't
work with a Pantone color like for example, 172. Where they working with
previous version ? I tought so !...
You have to overprint each registration mark with the Pantone color...
Is there an another way to do that ?

I put two exemples (.cdr + .eps) of what I am talking about :

*** The day I stop learning is the day my eyeballs roll back into my
skull and my pulse stops. I live for learning. Whether cooking, arc
welding, computer stuff, teaching, music, auto mechanics, electronics,
carpentry, public speaking, it's all really the same and it comes full
circle in becoming a useful human with real skills. My motto is: "If
another person can do it, so can I".

*** There was a time when I was in my early 20's, married with a
mortgage and was worried about where my next $ would come from. So I
read books, and pounced on every opportunity to learn, especially at
places of employment on someone else's dime. This year I've learned tons
about vinyl cutting/signs, right down to installing them with a
linesman's bucket truck. I'm not afraid to try anything. Right now I'm
learning about silk screening.

raises and holiday pay, but that overall route doesn't interest me. Job
security is a myth. I define security as having 10-30 regular clients.
They aren't going to all leave at once. One argument with one boss at a

i'm all about expanding the mind cells as well as bridging it with action.
"If another person can do it, so can I" is a very good motto to have.

> *** ...I'm not afraid to try anything..

there are several things that i myself have been yearning to do for years,
started a great deal of them for the most part, but laid them to rest for
reasons, but none more as evident as fear itself, but this year, than
others, i've been more so committed than ever to see each one come true, no
matter the timeframe, its about the final completion. As the days move
ahead, i'm learning to reprogram my mind and my actions, you know, format
the things that one has learned over the many years of being on this planet
that has kept them in the dark to thrust forward, the *I'm not afraid to try
anything* attitude is a wonderful mind set to have and live by, especially
in todays world.

their is so much i can add to your above comment, because, as a matter of
fact, i knew(still do) quite a bit of folks, both inwhich were employed in
high $ positions, as well as running their own high $ making business, with
one main client, and... lets just say that...above, your comment holds true.

If they can't take a PDF from Corel and check it in Acrobat themselves then
don't use them.

Your talking about either a printer whose staff don't have a clue or a rep
who is simple minded.

And you can print this out and say that's what the rest of the world thinks
of their pathetic idea of a specification.

If you need details on what PDF settings to use look in the help. For high
res imagesetters fonts are curves is the best bet.

EPS is probably safer, especially if saved as Level 1; QX isn't very
good at colour-separating PDFs.

Customer: "Can you wash my VW?"

Carwash Mgr: "Sure. But I prefer that you tow it here with an American car.
"

Customer: "Oh? Why is that?"

Carwash Mgr: "Because it's a foreign car and when this carwash was built, we
didn't have no foreign cars. They're smaller, and the carwash brushes and
hoses were built for American cars. So whenever we wash a foreign car we
just tow it through the wash with an American car and then we don't have any
problems."

Customer: "Hmmmm. So you're saying you can't wash my VW because it's a
foreign car and your carwash wasn't built for foreign cars, but if I bring
it to you along with an American car you could tow it through and it would
come out clean?"

Carwash Mgr: "Yes, that's right. Oh, and by the way, there would be an extra
charge for that. It's more work towing a car through, you know. Too bad
foreign cars aren't designed for American carwashes..."

Hi everyone
Just to clarify - i own and run a printing business and use corel as the
main core for
all our work. Quark is a pain along with adobe products. I have a mac here
but just use it to
transfer jobs accross to the pc and corel. To anser your question - no you
cannot export to quark direct
you just export to eps with cut marks etc and then quak :) can import it
and seperate it.
however any printer worth his salt should be able to take a corel generated
pdf file
and seperate it directly on the Rip to his imaging device.
