@@ErinGipfordFreelance and for free . Thanks Erin
Excellent tutorial. Not only do you explain the how but you explain the WHY!!! I am the type who needs to understand why we are selecting certain boxes versus not. Thanks for taking the time to do that.
SO VERY HELPFUL! I recently took on a new project for a client that required me to reach out to a printing company and for the life of me, I could not get my files formatted correctly. It has been a long and drawn out learning experience. But I am so happy to have found you because I learned a better method for saving my .pdf files high quality print jobs.
I paused as you went along and did the steps myself and that helped a TON.
Amazing work 👏 🙌 👌 .
Thank you so much for all your support to designers.
By far one of the most helpful videos. Thank you !!
Thank so much you gave a through all tutorial! You saved me so much headache from trying to find the professional way to send things for print.
This was amazing!! I needed something specific to the point while other videos didn't show the file packaging part (which was what I was missing my crop marks were all over the place) and they just prattled to make a lengthy video. God Bless You!
I've learned new: Package option
Thank you very much for sharing a Trix.
Thanks much, Erin, very helpful reminders and info.
Thank you so much Erin, this is very helpful and detailed.
Thank you for your help. Hello from WI :)
Thank you so much Erin, it's helpful really.
oh my goodness this was so helpful. I'll be subscribing to you now!
Thank you for this great detailed tutorial
Thanks for the tutorial. This is very helpful! The steps are explained clearly and is easy to follow. :)
This was very helpful and I'm glad that you showed the detailed steps. It helps to understand what is going on in the background if you use the automated way. I created a small invitation for my library and I think that this might have helped my design print better. Because they are a non-profit, this had to be printed on their laser jet and I ran into all kinds of problems, like the drop shadow that was subtle on the screen (and printed fine on my ink jet printer) became really dark. I used a PDF file and then I needed to also save it so that it could be an image used in an email. It was a challenge for me as the jpg file included an extra border that was not in my file. UGH! I define my Illustrator skills as knows enough to be dangerous. Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge.
Really helpful, thanks Erin.
Thank you for step by step tutorial. Keep up the good work 👍
Such a great tutorial! Learned a lot :)) thank you Erin G
Thank you! Super helpful.
I've been using Illustrator for years and never knew about the Package option haha. I used to collect all the needed files manually into a folder. Thanks so much!
Its a new option. It was an exclusive for years in inDesign only.
This was very helpful Erin thank you so much for making it easy to understand.

Thank you so much, I needed this video.
You are very welcome!
Thank you so much, this was realy very very helpful, greetings from Morocco, Peace
You did a great job explaining everything in such detail. Now I will know what is happening when prepress is upset that a customer didn’t outline the fonts.
But, this is exactly the type of information I want to learn, verses the designing of art aspect. For example, now I want to know why I need to have an image flattened when sending verses me learning how to make crazy shapes.
Yay! 👍
Very Helpful

Hello Erin, Thank You so very much, it helped me allot to understand how to create a good Print ready PDF file. " computer not responding " Aahhh it's all part of the process i get that as well. LOL Great Job.
Simple, Clear and direct...jpg not the way😩...thanks for offering me a better presentation😃👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
My pleasure 😊
Thank you for this great tutorial!
Hi, Erin! Thanks for tutorial :) Can you say, should we convert text to curves before making pdf file? Thanks:)
Thanks for this video👍🏼
I thought PDF would be the prefered format for print? EDIT// sorry, should have watched the whole video first. With a PDF though i can just ensure fonts are embedded rather than changing to outlines (?)
really your work is good ore then your voice jejeje awesome......
Hey Erin. That tutorial is super helpful. Only question though. For the first option is it risky to send the source file to the printing firm/company whatever? And if Yes how can we prevent this and have some kind of protection? Thanks in advance!
Hi Erin, what about the color profile? Which one did you use? They are the same for both images and vectors?
Excellent video Erin. One question - when I go to print the pdf, my pdf comes up blank? Unsure why this is happening?
good job
2022
"Package" Menu Option is grayed out for me...Any ideas on why?
Incredibly helpful and thorough! Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Hi all! If I have for example a shape with a stroke, should I also expand appearance? Or is it good to go as it is?
i like her mood.
I did follow u finish and then print? but i want to know about corner of paper do have it?
Hi, if u unchecked the "preserve illustrator editing capabilities" it will be able to change it or steal it at the print office!
I have a problem when I checked this option and i open the file again i suppose to get just a pic not layers! But i get layers .. something is saperated from the hole logo!! How can i solve this problem..
do you create outlines for fonts before doing package .. ? does t send the right fonts to printer or do we need to send fonts to printer ? thanks
What steps do I complete for my digital art for sale on etsy? Please let me know.
really informative 👍👍
Very helpful. I am a graphic design student. Do you offer courses on illustrator, photoshop. Is it the same process in the other apps. Thanks
Hey how do I go about designing a large format graphic for a business booth. It would be like 91 in by 91 in for the main part. The printing company said they need a vector file how would I go about designing a file containing text an images that would be rescalable without loss? Would I follow this same video or how do I go about starting the design in illustrator?
sir how to we export after everything done
Can you give me little advice, i need to print coloring book. I have illustrator file. A4 size. I have one by one page. Not side by side.(left and right) i have 30 pages.
So, if i need to create coloring book do i need to reformat it as side by side? Can i print all pages one by one and put all together?
Is this needed for t-shirt printing ?
Dated but helpful tutorial. Can anyone comment on why you'd ever do anything but send them a PDF? And if doing so, do you really need to embed the images? As long as text is outlined, I save as PDF and relocate the file all manner of places, download fresh copies, etc. and never have any problems.
how do you link your font?
what's the difference between exporting and doing a package ? plea help thanks
