Tile Fills
Morning all,
I’m looking at getting one of these wrap fills that are made so you can tile & repeat them. I’ve got a free one to try before i buy. However even working in Illustrator CS3 at 25% as soon as i start to repeat them the file becomes large and near impossible to work with. Even if i don’t embed the file.
This brings another problem in that an un-embedded file has the fill at the bottom but a larger selection box.
I don’t want to send the fill straight to the rip and just tile and repeat in there as i want to put effects and text over it.
Has any had similar problems and found a solution or able to give me any advice as to where I’m going wrong?
Thanks -

I dont know for sure, but maybe the sample files are full size?
and if you are tiling them then they will be massive
What size/dpi is the sample? perhaps it can be reduced first.
or maybe the file has some trickery to prevent tiling and using the "free" sample?Peter

well for previews I can imagine that working in illustrator could be a little tricky, but surely when you go to print your job, go back to your original import file print it like wall paper. (unless your modifying it, but work it that you put text/logos on top of the print and not embedded it in the print file.
So make a note of the scaling, open the wrap image into the rip and print wall paper at the right scale/size.
