About CDR Print Readiness Checker

Perform an expert-guided preflight audit on your CorelDRAW artwork before sending files to a commercial printer or prepress facility.

Verify critical prepress parameters including bleed allowance, color mode, font conversion to curves, effective raster DPI, and transparency flattening.

How to use this tool

1Audit your CorelDRAW document against the 8 preflight criteria (Bleed, Page Size, Color Mode, Fonts, DPI, Transparency, Overprint, Export Format).
2Select your project status for each item to compute your readiness score.
3Review flagged items and follow actionable CorelDRAW recommendations to fix prepress issues before submitting files.

Understanding the result

A READY score indicates all critical print parameters are verified, minimizing press errors and reprint costs.

REVIEW RECOMMENDED flags non-blocking items like transparency or overprint that should be soft-proofed.

ACTION REQUIRED indicates critical blockers like missing bleed, RGB color models, or unconverted live fonts.

Important limitations

This tool provides user-assisted preflight checklist guidance based on CorelDRAW prepress standards; it does not parse CDR binary vector objects directly.
Always perform a final digital soft proof or request a press proof from your printer.
