OK! Whew! I submitted my first design to RBTR's OutdoorINK -- in four different color variants! I thought Gmail was going to choke on a couple of those big TIFF files, but it looks like they went. I have other designs in the works, but I'll keep my fingers crossed, and I may wait to see if this first one is acceptable and then learn what I can about formatting, resolution, and color fidelity once I actually see some of the printed fabric, so that I can improve certain technical aspects of future patterns once I know more about the process. Thanks again, Kyle, for offering us this opportunity!

Great and thank you! I took a peek last night and those look great. Something different from the current lineup. I think things are really going to start coming together here in the next month or so.

Before long, you will be able to build something as intricate as a pack, all with OutdoorINK materials of your choosing or design. Not to spill the beans, but you may also be able to design that in real-time and see what the entire thing is going to look like . I guess I'm supposed to be selling this to you guys, but honestly I can't wait to use it myself!!!!!

Theoretically, would one be able to design three or four individual patterns as full-width linear yards to be printed in sequence as a 9-foot or 12-foot blank, such as for a quilt or hammock body (like your Starry Night or Gadsden Flag kits)?

In theory yes. You could place an order for individual patterns and then instruct us to print without any gaps in between.

Is the OutdoorINK Google upload portal for submissions currently active? I have some additional patterns I would like to submit for consideration, but when I tried to access the portal via the link in the designer notes, I received the message, "Authorization is required to perform that action."

Thanks for letting me know how to proceed with these large files.

Last time I tried it was working, but another option for the time being is https://www.wetransfer.com/. There's a free option for files up to 2 GB.
