    Whats the image?

    Vector format for the printers in .eps or .pdf

    If the image isnt too detailed I can trace it for you in vector form...

    Cheers

    Hi

    Tried to do this in illustrator but no joy. Using www.spreadshirt.ie for the t-shirts and for vector images it must be the below
    - work with coloured and dark products
    - format .cdr, .ai, or .fh
    - graphics and text must be in curves!
    For technical reasons, the original design should be no larger than 22.5 cm by 22.5 cm. The smallest object in the graphic should be at least 1.5 mm large. Texts must also be converted into curves.
    You have converted pixels to a vector diagram. Each colored, different
    pixel (especially in transferring photos ) is converted to a single
    vector. That would mean that the plot machine would cut out your image
    as a single design. The machine interprets each vector as a line to be
    cut. Try to place your design in "clear areas" and check that there are
    not too many paths (vectors) and anchorpoints.

    They need this format for flock printing which is the best quality
    Tried it using illustrator but no joy

    Can it be done ?
