NEED HELP WITH SOME SCREEN PRINTING FILES


Recommended Posts

I have two t-shirts that are being screen printed that have a distressed look to the images.  I created in Affinity Photo and exported to pdf and eps.  It seems the mask I used to creat the distress is what is causing the issue.  When they open them in their software to do the separations - it changes them to rasterized jpegs and are unusable.  If I take the mask off - Files separate fine.  Is there any advanced settings in the export function that will help with this process.  This guy is MAD and frankly, I am tired of being yelled at and would just like to get the project off neutral so we can all move on with our lives.  

I have not had great luck with Affinity and files that go to screen printers.  Wished that was an easier process.

Hi @Shelly,

@thomaso provided a solution for you in your original post here... which mirrors @lacerto's above...

Below are versions of your original files using the techniques described... You can replace the textures used in the attached files with your own textures using the technique described by @thomaso and @lacerto...

Feel free to use the attached PDFs to check that they give the screen printing company what they're looking for and if they're not, let us know what problems the screen printing company have with the files and then we can advise further from there...
