Corel placement. Left chest.

[Dottonedan]

Illustrator has an (align to art board) option that forces the art to be placed and printed to film (as you see it).  When ripped, without this, it would place the art to a default location like center top.

What is the equivalent in Corel?

Thanks all!

Dan not sure what you mean. If your ripping the rip determine all that. If doing CTS thats a hole different ball game.
I think.

In Corel page setup, I need to be able to save the file with an option to recognize the position of the art.

The RIP has a default setting of top center. So if I do not lock in a position in Corel, such as Illustrator has (align to board) it defaults to top center but I need a left chest.  Savvy?  The rip has to do what I tell it. If I don't tell it anything, it puts it at default.

could you make and unfilled unstroked object the size of the page to keep the position?

Then you need to uncheck something in the RIP that automatically places art top center. Normally this option is off so why it is on for you I dunno. Its not a corel setting but a RIP setting.

BTW what RIP? That will definitely help if another here has the same RIP

The unfilled stroke has been done and is a work around.  That does work.

Ink man, The thing is, in our rip, is more of an automated process. Everything needs to fall automatically in the same position (within the print are) guidelines. So disengaging the Rips automated positioning is not a smooth operation. That would be a work around when there had to be a way to tell the Corel to (stay within tese confines. Not doing so. might be more analogous to registering films up by manually with registration marks by eye.  We are wanting to have it print in Corel like it does in illustrator. (Same art department) uses both programs to print seps. Illy, no prob.  Corel plops it at top and center.

This is a RIP for the STE.  I will check with some of our Customers known to be using Corel with this.

Thanks

Have your page size match your media size in "Layout>Page Setup".

Open "File>Print Preview" and click on the drop box "As in document" and you can select where the image will print on the page. (top center, bottom center, etc)

You can also use the "marks placement tool" to custom set up regi marks, etc.

The other way is to set up a custom page width (matching you printer media etc) and place a "master" vertical and horizontal guide at your left chest position on the page. Save this file as a template and snap the art to the guide before printing.

Thanks so much john!  That sounds like a great start. I'll try to let everyone know how it goes.

Thanks again and thank you to the orhers that chimed in to assist.
