Creating Halftones in CorelDRAW with No RIP for screen printers and artists.

Everything you need to know to create great halftone patterns in CorelDRAW for screen printing without using a RIP software.

You can quickly and easily master the process of creating halftones and other types of value shapes to make grayscale images printable for screen printing and other types of printing. Even if you are comfortable with CorelDRAW and know how to make halftones this course will have some new tips and tricks that will easily save you a lot of time and headaches. And, like all of my courses this information is battle-tested - it has been used hundreds of times by me to create artwork for clients that didn't have a RIP or wanted an effect that their RIP wouldn't do.

1. Creating halftones from bitmaps in CorelDRAW
