How to Export Print-Ready Files from CorelDRAW for DTF Gang Sheets
Designing your gang sheets in CorelDRAW? Here’s how to export each page as a clean, print-ready PNG — 300 DPI, anti-aliasing off, cropped to page — then bulk-upload and order in a couple of minutes.
CorelDRAW is a great tool for laying out DTF gang sheets, especially when you are nesting lots of designs across multiple pages. The trick is exporting each sheet as a clean, print-ready file so it arrives at the size you intended, with crisp edges and no wasted space. Here is exactly how we recommend doing it.

Part 1: Export a print-ready PNG from CorelDRAW
Open your gang sheet in CorelDRAW
Open your .cdr file. If you have built a multi-page document, remember that each page is one gang sheet — sized to the 57 cm roll width, up to 100 cm tall.
Go to File > Export
Open the File menu and choose Export… (or press Ctrl+E).
Choose PNG — and export pages to separate files
Set Save as type: PNG. If your document has several pages, turn on Export pages to separate files so every sheet comes out as its own PNG, ready to bulk-upload. Name them clearly and hit Export.
Set the export options in the “Export to PNG” dialog
This is where print-ready files are made or broken. Set:
- Transparency: ON — keeps the background clear so only your design prints.
- Anti-aliased: OFF (under Advanced) — gives clean, hard edges instead of a soft, semi-transparent halo.
- Crop to page on export: ON — trims away the empty artboard so there is no transparent padding around your sheet.
- Resolution: 300 DPI — the sweet spot for sharp DTF prints.
- Size: 57 cm / 570 mm wide (up to 100 cm tall) — matches our roll width exactly.
Click OK and you have a clean, correctly sized PNG for every sheet.
Part 2: Bulk-upload and place your order
With your PNGs exported, ordering takes a couple of minutes.
Drop in all your files at once
Drag and drop every PNG (or click Upload Files). The uploader accepts PNG, JPG, SVG, AI, EPS, PDF and PSD, up to 500 MB each — so you can add a whole batch of sheets in one go.
Let it calculate, then checkout
Because you exported at the right size, each file is read as a 57 × 100 cm sheet at 300 DPI and priced automatically. Bulk discounts apply as you add more metres (from £15/m down to £8.50/m at 20+). Set your quantities and checkout — 57 cm rolls, hot & cold peel, same-day dispatch.
Quick checklist
- PNG, exported one file per page.
- 300 DPI, anti-aliasing off, transparency on.
- Crop to page on export so there is no transparent padding.
- 57 cm (570 mm) wide to match the roll.
- Bulk-upload the lot, check the auto-calculated price, checkout.
