allaboutkitchens Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Hi all! I am a certified kitchen and bath designer and usually print to 11x17 paper on my Brother printer. I have a project now that I need larger paper and after talking to my local document print shop (ARC, formerly Brownies), their protocol to print from efiles has changed. I'm wondering if y'all have encountered this and perhaps can help me. Their printers print from tif files. They can convert a pdf file, but charge $4 per file. I've searched online to look for tif printers and have found a few. Some free, others not. Anybody have any experience with this? Thanks in advance!

HumbleChief Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Every print shop I encounter these days prints from many formats, the most popular, by far, is PDF. I tend to have a lot of allegiance to my vendors but not if they don't/can't/won't print from a PDF file then I will find a vendor that will.

MarkMc Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Bluebeam PDF Revu will export to tif, you can get a trial version from them. Like Larry I've not run into this every print/copy shop around here can work from PDF. Might try Staples, UPS, ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KirkClemons Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Tif is just an image format, so most programs should be able to convert to this. You can even export your layout from Chief, though not to scale. There are also free tools online that you can use. I've personally used this site and it does a decent job for free: https://www.cometdocs.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Electromen Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 If you have Adobe Acrobat, Do a 'Save As' and choose TIF for the extension. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
