I'm very new to the Tayda UV printing service and would like to use it on my next pedal build. I've created a graphic using Affinity Designer and think it is correct but would like some feeback before I order the UV service. Is there anyone out there savvy enough with Affinity who could take a look at my attached file and tell me if it will work?

You can use this: https://github.com/drlholloway/tayda-uv-artwork-processor or https://forge.optictonelab.com/ to convert it to an acceptable tayda file.
I wrote the tayda UV artwork processor and another forum member, @chongmagic wrote a web version. I've used both and they work well.

Thank you! I did manage to figure out the layers in Affinity. I have white, CMYK, Gloss and the dimensions in mm are correct. Following the Tayda UV site, I was able to export the Affinity file as a PDF. I believe that will work for their printing service?

Yes, you can also use their pdfman service that lets you see what it is going to print.
Excellent!! Thank you for that tip! I’m pretty stoked to be moving on from crappy decals and mediocre looking pedals.
I did have one final question. When I add the UV printing service and drill template to my cart, do they somehow link that to my email and see the drill template and UV template and use those? I don’t really see where to add my drill template and UV file to my cart.

The new flow for UV printing from Tayda is to start at https://drill.taydakits.com/dashboard and design from there. It has a few straightforward steps.
