Thumbs up Re: CorelDraw T Shirt Comp Plugin: easily make proofs for your printing customers

Holy crapamoly, that's pretty cool! I just watched the video here that explains how to install it and use it and I thought it was a "pay" tool.

I clicked the download link, and it's free

It's a perfect tool for people like me without a ton of graphics skills, but who want to show approximately how the customer's design will look on the t-shirt.

The only thing that didn't work on the install for me was that it didn't automatically unzip into the correct coreldraw folder, but it was easy to put the files in the right place after watching the video.

I just followed the instructions and clicked the button (he shows you how to make a button in coreldraw) and I made the proof below in like less than a minute (don't mind the low quality image shown, I just used a lower file size so it would load fast. The actual graphic is very crisp)

This would also be great for people who are selling their own original designs online. Often times members ask where to get t-shirt templates.

This tool comes with a t-shirt template that you can easily change the shirt color on and apply your t-shirt design to the front or back for use as web product images or a line sheet.

Thanks Tom (and Fluid for posting it)!

It may be a conflicting configuration with another program running on your computer.

Did you try running it alone with all other programs turned off ?

Default Re: CorelDraw T Shirt Comp Plugin: easily make proofs for your printing customers

Ok realized my problem. Am on corel 12. But debugged it and used this.

C:\Program Files\Corel\Corel Graphics 12\Draw\GMS\Comp Genorator Files\FrontComp.cdr", cdrCDR

instead of the one posted above. Was going to edit my post above, but if by chance anyone else comes across this problem. Using corel 12 and you get the error msg like i did. This path should fix it.

Peace,
Darrell

Well T-Bot took me a minute to realize that I wasn't running corel X3.
But went into debugging when the error popped up for the 2nd time and fixed it.
After I realized what was going on.

Wow! I was deciding whether to load CS2 or X3 on my design system.

You just answered my question. X3 it is

Thanks!

oh I see, your path was off-beat.

Here I was thinking it was something major.

thanks for posting the correct path for 12.

Don't forget that you will have to edit the path in all the options. In corel 12. Will take a couple minutes. But worth the effort.

Peace,
Darrell
