making an underbase in CorelDraw X5...stroke size?
« on: December 11, 2013, 07:07:21 AM »
I have a simple one color design i am making an underbase for. It is an image and text....full back and left chest.

What size pen stroke should I use? I know a 2 point stroke is really 1 point taken out of the image?..Is that enough?...Should I do a 4 point stroke (i.e. 2 point stroke taken out the image).

  I usually use 1 point or hairline.

.75 pt consistently

1pt works but looks a little sloppy close up
4pt is monstrous!

hairline we find to be too little to be of any use (currently only using hairline to create a butt register gutter - i have my doubts that it's any different at all at the end of the dryer)

.5-.75 usually for me unless it happens to be a large solid image then I bump it up to 1 pt

I find that .75 is perfect and covers the step down or thickness side edge of your unberbase perfectly.
