Noob question: format to print at Office Depot?

Postby BenBors » Fri Feb 23, 2018 8:48 am

Hi, I'm sorry for the relatively dim question but can someone tell me what file formats that Inkscape can export in, will print vector graphics in Office Depot? I have simple line art but I need to print it at 11x14 or larger.

Thanks in advance.

I'd work at full scale (1:1) and save a copy as PDF for the printer. Keep the original as Inkscape SVG for edits.
Have a nice day.

I'm using Inkscape 0.92.2 (5c3e80d, 2017-08-06), 64 bit win8.1

The Inkscape manual has lots of helpful info! http://tavmjong.free.fr/INKSCAPE/MANUAL/html/

I'd agree with TD, and say PDF is the best bet, going in blind.

But I'd call Office Depot and ask what formats they will accept.

PDF is your best bet but they may not be able to do large paper sizes. As brynn says, call ahead and find out for sure.
