Re: Export as PDF for business card printing

Hi Lazur, thank-you very much for taking the time to write such an informative reply. It clears up quite a few questions I had. The "72 dpi" cards which got printed were very " grainy " so I automatically assumed I had got the DPI incorrect. However, the printing company said it ...

Re: Export as PDF for business card printing

Question 1: I (accidentally) sent the pdf file which I exported from Inkscape as 72dpi. I phoned the printer and she said not to worry as she had increased the pdf to 300 dpi herself. Is this possible to do even though I exported as 72 dpi from inkscape? I'm sure it is... but it just doesn't make s...

Convert everything to black (not greyscale)

Hi there, I'd like to convert everything in my image to be pure black (on a white background). I've been using :tool_paintbucket: but it became apparent that this couldn't be the best way.

Re: How to split object so I can delete some things?

Hi Tyler, thanks very much for the help! I've ungrouped and it worked!! Thank-you - at last I've got some progress. Thank-you x100!!

Which font do you think is GilSans... "Slew Rings"? I don't seem to have that font on my Windows 7 machine. Do you know where I could get it from?
