you must avoid drop shadow as much as you can because it's a raster effect. Anyway if you had to use it you can try this :
from options/workspace/general/ resolution -- you can set the resolution of your shadow higher, then, before you export it, brake drop shadow group apart.

Additionally ..
Try using absolute CMYK (0% 0% 0% 0%) with alpha for opacity instead of greys or RGB.
Try dropping shadow and coverting it to bitmaps before print.- Remember that shadow uses texture transparencies that may be misshandled by some equipments.-

i rarely use a dropshadow in coreldraw, because that problem. the only way is, move your object to plain texture, or you can delete the background and just leave it on a page size (no background behind object) then use dropshadow, drop down the "shadow feathering" (i use 8 to 10 point of feathering). then select the shadow, Ctrl+K to break apart your shadow with object, then select the shadow only, bitmap it with 100 or 150 dpi. (usualy it works for me).
or you can use bitmap to create a shadow... duplicate your object, fill it with black (100, 100, 100, 100) bitmap it then blurr it. if too solid, you can use a transparency tools to your shadow...
thank you...
