CorelDRAW imposition technology (Part 1)

When it comes to the scope of prepress production work, one has to mention the typesetting work of books or magazines. Because of the standard nature of books and magazines and industry norms, this method has certain skills and execution. At present, most printing factories are still in manual imposition for book and magazine printing and imposition, but with the gradual promotion of electronic digital typesetting technology, computer typesetting will certainly replace the manual imposition. For the selection of computer typesetting software, most of the domestic production staff currently use PageMaker, Peking University Founder and some graphics such as CorelDRAW, Illustrator, FreeHand and other software. Some foreign-funded enterprises are teaching and introducing some more advanced scientific Professional typesetting software, such as QuarkXPress. Here I have removed PageMaker, QuarkXPress and other typesetting softwares, and chose CorelDRAW, a large-scale professional software that combines the most widely used graphic images and typesetting in China, to give some simple typesetting introductions.

CorelDRAW is a professional drawing software and an extremely powerful typesetting software. There are almost no books or publications that can be seen in the market. The vast majority of graphic designers and pre-press production staff in China all have the necessary understanding and mastery of them. Together with another image processing software Photoshop, they constitute an indispensable tool for graphic designers to take up their jobs.

1. Arrangement of layout

The default page layout of CorelDRAW's working environment is an A4 office paper that is widely used internationally. This paper is for the office rather than for book magazines, so we are using CorelDRAW for the layout of book magazines. At this time, we must make some settings for this layout, of course, we can completely ignore the existence of this paper, and use another better method to deal with the working environment settings we want to make, that is, use some rectangular frames to Visually represent the actual paper requirements we want.

The method described in this article is not carried out according to the typesetting method required by the CorelDRAW software itself, but I have summarized it based on my personal experience in pre-press work, and I hope to be able to do some pre-press work. The production staff of the company carried out a brick-and-mortar introduction, opening up another way of typesetting for readers and friends. Therefore, if you have readers who are skeptical about the layout of this article, there is no need to make some unnecessary suspicions. Instead, you can find out more suitable for you according to the methods introduced in this article, combined with your own practical experience in actual work. The typesetting method, of course, the typesetting method introduced in this article is believed to be suitable for some beginners who are just engaged in pre-press work.

For reader friends who are preparing to use CorelDRAW for book and magazine layout with reference to this article, this article does not have any technical premises. It only requires reader friends to call up the CorelDRAW program from the Windows Start → Program menu.

After CorelDRAW is opened, a newly created desktop window similar to office software such as Word, as shown in Figure 1, differs only in some menu items and tools.

Select the text tool of the toolbox, click the mouse anywhere in the working window, and then drag in a certain direction, a rectangular frame will be drawn in the window, and the frame can be changed in the lower right corner or directly below the frame The size of the mark, hold down here with the mouse and drag in a certain direction to change the horizontal or vertical size of this frame, here we set this frame to 170mmx257mm size (assuming the size of the finished product is A4 paper size and four sides The distance is 2cm), as shown.

Click the left mouse button in this box to enter text.

In a normal book or magazine, it is impossible to have only simple symbols such as text. We will also insert some objects such as pictures according to the needs of different article content or layout. In CorelDRAW, you can not only insert foreign pictures processed by other software, but also use its own powerful drawing functions to create some pictures to insert. No matter what kind of pictures are introduced, we have to embed them in the text.

The work of inserting a picture into text is very simple. Just select the picture to be inserted and set it in "Paragraph Text Wrapping" on the formatting toolbar. In this tool, CorelDRAW provides us with a rich text wrapping function, which can wrap the picture either left or right, or up and down or four sides, etc., as shown in the figure.

When inserting pictures into the text, CorelDRAW's good prepress automation function has preset preset specifications for the embedding of pictures and text. Of course, we can also carry out some self-control according to our own preferences or layout requirements. Defined settings to make the embedding of pictures and text more beautiful or reasonable. Figure 4 shows the effect after inserting the picture into the text.
