(These survey questions are sent in by our readers. Please spend a minute to give your answer to this week's survey as one or possibly more of your industry peers thinks this question is important and wishes to see your point of view as well as others in the industry.)  
 
 

  • Its a buggy piece of crap, unfortunately, its the only thing that does everything in one package.
  • I don't use it. Had a version many many years ago but tried illustrator and found it much better have stayed with it ever since.
  • Never used it. Use Ai or Flexsign Pro.
  • Coming from a screenprinting background, Coreldraw has always been an excellent drawing program for utilisation of spot colours and vector graphics. As we have moved forward into the digital printing format, we still find Coreldraw to be useful in conjunction with other art programs such as illustrator and photoshop. (Bill, Foxflags)
  • I rate Corel highly. My artwork is mainly text. Corel is very easy to use. Easy to convert to PDF. Very reasonably priced program. I do have problems copy and pasting from one version to another to maintain same colours. The Colours change. That is a nuisance. But the rest is good.
  • I have owned a couple of versions of COREL but always preferred my SIGN WIZARD...by Aries Graphics (I now running V7)
    I am sure Corel is very capable but it was not as fast for me in my pretty standard signwork. May be just what you get to know.
  • not totally excellent but okay.
  • Adobe Illustrator for us. I employ graphic designers and we work with a number of design firms so that's what they're typically trained in.
  • Corel Draw is a great tool, that's all it is. Don't ever asked them why their letter heights are wrong eg; 100mm. in the dialogue box actually measures about 76.9mm in height. Their explanation is we should be using "points" for measurements??? Promoted as a sign/graphic artist program, I am yet to meet anyone in the sign industry (I have over 42 years in the sign trade) who uses "points" as a measurement. Maybe if enough Signies comment about it to them they might change the calibration settings, It can't be that hard? (Bernie, Geraldton GraFX).
  • I use it for all our work and have no problems with it.
