Export for large prints?

[skafiskafnjak]

My printing company ask for .CDR (xara does not support this) files to be able to print large prints.

What file format should I use and what settings to export high quality vector graphich picture?

Tell them the options Xara does have.

PDF/X is pretty universal. So if TIFF.

TIFF is often the best though for a large image this can create a large file depending upon the amount of white space and complexity of images.

If all your printer can take are CorelDRAW files then it might be worth finding a more flexible printer.

Here's a good place to start looking http://tinyurl.com/c7cz7q (Google search)

LOL The problem used to be finding a printer the "would" take Corel files.

To be honest, I've not had any problems finding printers who will take high res PDFs. It seems to be the format of choice, certainly in my personal experience, but I guess there are loads of determining factors. As always one single standard would be nice, but that's never going to happen. Not in practice.
