PRINTING

Tips for designing/printing patterns

When printing a pattern for your design needs please keep in mind the following:

TIF is the highest quality file for printing patterns but most online DIY printing platforms suggest PNG format for uploading and some do not support TIF at all. Therefore all CUEILLIR patterns are sold in PNG format. Should you require an alternate format such as TIF for your design needs please do get in contact and I would be happy to send the required file.

While the original dimensions for each pattern are listed in the shop at the time of purchase, sizing of the overall pattern and each individual element can change depending on the printing platform used and its software. *Be sure to check what the base size is once you have uploaded the pattern into the site you are using as some change the DPI upon upload.

Always double check sizing within the printing platform prior to printing to ensure your design/pattern is the dimensions you would like and make changes accordingly.

*Always, always, always order a sample when able prior to placing an order. This is so important for several reasons (especially for larger more expensive orders):

To ensure that scaling is as you are expecting.
To ensure that colour is as you are expecting (this is hard to truly see on monitors/screens and can vary with different printing services and their print methods).
To ensure you are happy with the print quality of the platform/site you are using.
To ensure you are happy with the base material you are printing your pattern onto. From fabric to stationary, the colour, texture and quality of mediums varies from different suppliers.
To ensure there are no unexpected pattern flaws. Though I do my best to pre-trial every pattern digitally, on the rare occasion small flaws can sometimes sneak through. In the un-likely chance that there is indeed a pattern flaw please get in contact and I would be happy to correct the flaw at no charge. *Please keep in mind that I do have to verify that it is indeed an actual design issue before offering corrective services for any pattern.

Adore patterns? Pop by the shop often because new designs are added frequently to each collection throughout the seasons. Keep in mind fresh patterns can be swapped for older ones, so be sure to snap up any you adore while they're in the shop!
