Thousands of nodes showing in exported eps file that looked clean and simple in corel draw

[Ginocol]

Please can someone help.

Ive created a design in corel draw 2023 to export to rasterlink for cut and print. I've double checked cut lines are correct with no duplication and the design looks clean. However when I export as eps raster link runs super slow. And cuts in terribly in certain areas. I've opened the eps file in Adobe illustrator to check the file and the design looks messy around the letters especially with curves showing thousands of points on the cut line.



How can I get round this please as time is running out to get the job ready by Sunday to fit?

In AI, select the dieline go to Object > Path > Simplify. Use the slider to start reducing the nodes. Be very careful though. this can go wrong quickly going too far. Usually when I do this I copy the dieline, create a new layer, then on new layer hit Ctrl + F (Paste in place on top). Change the dieline color, and now you have a reference point to see how much it has changed.

Export from Corel as a PDF. Some programs are weird with EPS files when they import them

I've sussed it. I had created too many contour layers for the 2mm bleed which were conflicting. Loaded the eps into Adobe illustrator and that showed my error. Deleted them now all is good finally
