13. Files Take a Long Time to Print in Corel Draw
Causes/Solutions 1:
Printing from CorelDRAW is causing large spool les.•
Printing from any version of CorelDRAW can create extremely large spool les. This happens
when one or more copies of a le are sent to the printer while you are trying to print a number of
images that require a second pass. It can also happen if bitmap images are placed in the document.
If the spool les are larger than your physical memory, the le may not print or may take a long
time processing. Ways to reduce this include exporting the le in a JPEG format, then bringing
the le back into CorelDRAW using the Import function. If the bitmap was created with a high
resolution, try lowering the resolution to around 200 DPI. Save this le and Import it back into
CorelDRAW. Try to print from a different program like Adobe Photoshop or Adobe Illustrator.
These graphic programs do not create as large spool les as Corel Draw.
