Dear Developers

Thank you already for this amazing Application.

I tried to download the B2 Poster Preset from Vistaprint:

https://www.vistaprint.ch/kundenservice/design-richtlinien.aspx?pf_id=BLZ#Details

But the thing is that the preset is given as a .joboptions File which seems to be currently only supported by Acrobat, InDesign, Photoshop and Illustrator.

It would be awesome to see this being supported by Krita.

Thank you in advance!

Mike

That sounds like it would be a Scribus' job to support this file format, not Krita. Krita is a painting program, not a design-for-printing one.

If you want to make a good B2 poster in Krita, first just make a new file with 300 dpi or higher (if it's going to be black & white, for example) with appropriate size in centimeters or inches, and then you'll need to open it in Scribus and add all other design elements and then send to the printer company.

The website says that using the template file is optional, so you can easily just define the size in Krita, and if you need some more information like bleeding (I'm not sure what information .joboptions contains), they must be available elsewhere on the website or if you contact them.
