Sunset Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 I have received commercial interest in one of my vector-only creations, the client wants to be able to print to any size from covering a cushion to covering a wall. I wasn't intending the work as anything other than for my own amusement originally (and the client is known to me, so no complications) Question: client does not have Affinity, not yet at least, and I made this piece when I was playing about with the early betas of AD for Windows. The only way I can think of sending a proper scaleable vector file is to find out what program he uses and export in that format?

MikeW Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 If the design uses features that require the use of effects such as drop shadows, glows, etc., without knowing the usage requirements will/can cause end-use file format issues. In general, I would give a PDF. And I would do so only based on knowing the specific usage requirements. While one can get away with certain sizing requirements with only a couple PDFs, it really takes an understanding of the downstream processes of the required print conditions. I have done wallpaper patterns, but I knew the size of the patterns during the design process. Without knowing what the design is of and not knowing the actual use requirements causes complications for anyone giving advice. If you haven't yet, I would first get clarification of what the usages are and their sizing requirements. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunset Posted October 22, 2016 Author Share Posted October 22, 2016 It's a very simple design, no special effects, no fades, glows, anything, just needs to be capable of printing out at anything from A6 to A0 sizes without distortion of pixelation. I'll try a few things around the PDF and see what the results are like. I'll also see if it opens in my Mac AD, too.

MikeW Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 Then if the design hits a PDF as vector, there are no issues turning over a PDF. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
