To produce a combined embroidery decoration plus graphics, use the following procedure. Don’t use the Export Multi-Decoration Files command for this scenario as it doesn’t support virtual embroidery as print.
To create combined virtual embroidery and print decoration...
- Open your EMB design file.
- Optionally, turn on TrueView™ to visualize the embroidery component. Use Options > View Design to make any adjustments to TrueView™ settings.
- Toggle on any graphic elements – bitmap or vector.
- Optionally, toggle on the product image to visualize the resulting virtual decoration on the target garment. Make any size adjustments needed.
To output the virtual decoration...
- Switch to CorelDRAW Graphics.
- In Graphics mode, click Show Embroidery to toggle on the embroidery component.
- Select a bitmap resolution – e.g. 300 DPI – from the Mode toolbar. You can override presets by keying in a higher resolution as required – e.g. 1200 DPI. Width and height settings update automatically.
TIP
This setting determines the detail at which the TrueView™ image will be rendered. Maximum DPI for printers can vary between 600 and 2880 DPI. For general purposes such as printing on T shirts, good results can be obtained within a range of 200 to 400 DPI. Higher resolutions may be necessary for other substrates or media.
- Select File > Export > PNG to export a high resolution file for printing or similar.
- Click Export. The Export to PNG dialog opens.
- Adjust transparency, anti-aliasing, and DPI settings as required. The DPI setting in this dialog does not affect the DPI resolution of the TrueView™ rendering. It only affects the DPI of the actual output file. Normally you would want to set the TrueView™ rendering and output resolution to be the same value. You can override presets by keying in a higher resolution as required – e.g. 1200 DPI.
- Click OK to export.
