The CorelDRAW Applied series of articles is focused on the artwork layout task in graphic product production As such, our mission is to LEARN how to APPLY CorelDRAW tools to production tasks for various process needs; processes like engraving, image transfers, sandblasting, sublimation, etc. To this end, this series provides step-by-step instructions. So far in the Imposition Layout sub-series, we’ve shown how the Imposition Layout tools in CorelDRAW can be used to duplicate layouts for printing standard labels and business cards, and then how they can be used to create custom layouts for engraving. As we’ve shown before, to effectively use the Imposition Layout tools we need to use the product’s size as the page size in CorelDRAW; or if we want to introduce a gutter between pieces, a page size that is slightly larger than the product size.

Then in the output device’s printerdriver use: (1) a standard paper size, or (2) a custom material size, or (3) the machine’s table size. Following this practice will allow us to duplicate and distribute one layout over the output material, creating as many copies as will ft. to Review – our First Image transfer Project Our current project’s goal is to produce full-color name badges to wear in the offce/store and at trade shows. Part of the goal is to create CorelDRAW templates that can be easily modifed to produce similar items for our customers. We selected a pre-cut 2x3 inch badge available from Unisub (item #5530), and plan to transfer images via sublimation which will give us lots of full color print area with vibrant colors. In addition to the pre-cut badges, Unisub has a production fxture which can handle up to 12 badges in an 8.5 x 14 area. The product number for the fxture is 5941. Basic CorelDRAW layouts for an individual badge as well as the fxture are also available on their website. The basic layout for the badge is shown in picture 1, and for the production jig is picture 2. Both of these are OK but need more work to make them really usable. The single badge layout shown in picture 1 can be used as a layout guide. It is not suitable for use with Print Merge or Imposition Layout. If we use it without modifcation, it would require a single 8.5 x 11 transfer sheet for every badge; and then each badge would have to be pressed individually.
