Question

Transfer Figma artwork to be printed with Illustrator

Hi there,

I need to print a banner (100x250cm), using some design elements previously built on Figma. I am exporting the assets in .svg or .pdf, but when I open them in Illustrator, some elements are missing, rounded corners and shadows disappear, everything in the layers structure is very messy.

Does anyone has tips on how printing design elements from Figma, with a proper printing set-up (bleed, CMYK, etc.)<

Thanks in advance!!

    SVG’s don’t support shadows. They only support flat artwork, ie, vectors.

    I would export each element as a png @4x the size.

    But ideally you should rebuild them in Illustrator for a cleaner print > then export as EPS > and add to an InDesign file > then export that file as a PDF.
