Tayda UV Printing

[turntablemonkey]

I was thinking about using taydas UV printing service but am a little confused on layering colours. I've converted the image to an svg file but I'm not sure if it's ok to have overlapping colours. Would this work?

Edit: Inkscape sucks. Used illustrator and it is working perfectly.

Creating a PDF for Tayda UV Printing

I go over using the opensource Inkscape and the $49.99 US Affinity Designer to create PDF for UV printing at Tayda Electronics.

Is there a way to merge an entire image at once in affinity or Inkscape? I put an image through a vectorizing tool and it has a ton of overlap that I can’t figure out how to fix..

Saw that one, Unfortunately he's saving the actual image design aspect for another tutorial. I'm using his template to get the sizing correct.

On the tayda UV printing page they make a point of not having colors overlap and show you what to do. Probably have to clean up the overlap and merge them or subtract like I had to in affinity.

Does affinity have an option to merge only visible layers? Like an auto mode? I'm using inkscape and I think I would have to go through and select every single overlapping path. There are 100's in this vector...

Ok got it figured out. Turns out Inkscape is crap. I used adobe illustrator and it is working perfectly. There's an issue in Inkscape with anti aliasing.
