Converting a logo smaller with higher dpi?

I got this email from a print shop about my logo in a cdr file. What do I need to do to get it to the printer's specs? How much would something like this cost?

Our graphics department is stating that it is just a logo is that how you want it to print? As well it was sent in at 8.5 x11 we need it to be 4.25 x 5.375 300 dpi CMYK color please make sure all critical text and graphics are 3/16 from the edge.

 

What did you originally create it in? Most printers will take a logo from a eps or illustrator file (vector based image) If you have access to adobe illustrator or photoshop it would be very easy to resize your file to their specs

 

I can do it for you. I use CorelDraw as well which is "cdr" like you said.

 

we have designing and development company. every logo have a different cost but basic value of designing of logo $30

 

I guess he's not talking about the price of the logo. He means that edition for the printing.

 

Hello, I would use Photoshop to resize to the printer specs. Start with a new template and enter the specs in and open your existing file, then drag it over to the new photoshop file and resize. PM me if you have any questions.

 

I haven't used Corel since version 4 so I can't remember the program.

Is the logo vector or raster based? If it's vector you can resize it easily without worrying about pixelation or anything.

Start with the canvas size to the printer's specs and place the logo on that new canvas. I'm thinking you could setup crop marks on your canvas (The little pluses in each corner for print.) with the 3/16 specs but it's been a long time since I did anything major for print. May be way off.

There are two color options. CMYK and RGB. CMYK is usually print based. I believe it (I come from the days of pasteups and negatives so my memory may be waning here.) allows the printer to print one value, then the next on top and so on.

If you're using non ordinary fonts be sure to save the text as outlines so the type face is not needed by the printer. The best option is to save the file as pdf. Ai and eps are sufficient as well. The printer should be able to handle that sufficiently.

I would not pay someone to do this. It's relatively easy to do and you'd be wasting your money.

 

Thanks for all the advice. I found someone to do it.
