Click Open after selecting the EPS vector file you wish to change.

From the menu bar, choose File and then Import from the drop-down menu. To make it easier for them, just supply a good quality raster-based image so they can view it on screen and print it on a desktop printer easily. If you don’t have Inkscape installed on your computer, you may download a free version from the internet (linkin Resources). A lot of people will have problems putting an EPS file into an office application as they may only get to output the document to a postscript device unless the app has a built in PS interpreter (not likely). (If you aren’t doing spot color, it isn’t as big of a deal.)įor ‘office application’ use, you’ll likely want to supply a PNG/TIFF/BMP.

I would definitely NOT give the printers a raster based format (like PNG) as there isn’t any way for them to do proper spot color separations from them (no way to introduce a proper bleed, etc.) You really should have that built into your logo file that you give them already so that they can generate their seps. Like Fweeb said, eps is probably your best bet for print as it is a vector format. If you must send an SVG to someone, make sure to save from Inkscape as ‘Plain SVG’ as that takes a lot of the Inkscape specific stuff out of the file and means less for the parser (importer in their app) to have to go through.

Also, if they aren’t running the most current version of Illustrator, they’ll have issues getting SVG into their app (or may not get it in at all.) The newest versions of Illustrator can import SVG, but it isn’t a widely known format in printing/press so you may get some strange looks. It’s a pretty good bet that the person working at the screenprinters is NOT using Inkscape, so you’ll want to make sure you’re giving them what they need.
