Preparing For Print
 

I'm preparing some artwork for professional print, the job requires laying out in a professional matter - I'm using coreldraw with access to adobe indesign if needed.

I've got some artwork that needs laying out on A4 but it requires being duplicated in rows of 4 equally 8per page (Business card artwork) 55x85mm I don't want to do this manually obviously because of error, is there way I can make either coreldraw or indesign duplicate the image the same position in rows of 4 but also include the crop marks and registration marks???

I'm really not sure how to do this without doing it manually, I assume indesign would automatically be able to do this by doing 4-up on a page but I've looked at the settings and experiemented but it doesn't to seem working.

Is this there easier way of doing this, another program?

Please advise thanks!

At our shop we have a rip (print server) which takes the file and auto duplicates it across a page (literally 3 mouse clicks).

Any good print shop should have this, or do it for you.

I know it is possible in Corel, but I don't use Corel..

My suggestion, if they can't find someone else.

what program/make is this server running?

Is is a xerox server & application running on an IKON printer.

Hello al_schofield ,

I am afraid I read this post a bit late.
You can do it in CorelDRAW , and that function is named Quite imposing.
Click on Print to open the Print Preview options and once there click on the Imposing tool ( the second one in the left toolbar ).



CorelDRAW is the only vector application tool that has included the quite imposing tools .

There is a tutorial about that in www.corelclub.org , but I am afraid it is only in Spanish language.

Kind regards from the North of Spain,
