PROBLEM with a VECTOR lion complexe

[jeanf23426523]

Hello all,

So happy to find this forum. I wish you can help me.

I have a problem with a vector LION  i bought. When i see this one on illustrator there is some little white spaces between all parts of the vector.

It uses a number of gradient meshes and clipping masks, but im beginner and just need to fix it.

And when i save it in pdf, same problem, i see all lines on the vector (like a puzzle).

Thanks so much in advance.

I do not see what you are describing.

Did you seen the pictures? the lion is created with a lot of small vectors with gradients. But there is like a little space between all these parts.

Its needed to click on the photo for looking the details of what im describing. Thanks.

I suppose it is the way it is build.

Can you share the file itself so we could investigate it in Illustrator?

[jeanf23426523]

Absolutely. Thanks. How i can send you the ai file?

You need to fix what exactly?

The lines in the PDF are most likely rendering artifacts. You might need to print a proof (this is not just a print on your inkjet, but a very special kind of print - ask the print service about it)

Or do you need to have this exported for screen view or editing in Photoshop?

Wow, seriously? Its just monitor view? What a good news!!! Thanks a lot.

The first thing to do when you see hairline sliver artifacts like that in vector-based artwork is this:

In either Illustrator or Acrobat, Zoom in on the artifacts repeatedly and watch to see if they grow in width on your screen. If they remain hairline slivers, they are probably screen-rendering artifacts due to anti-aliasing, and will not appear in print. (You didn't say if the design is destined for print.)

If they appear to be real, fixing them depends on how the specific areas of the artwork involved are built.

Yes this is for printing too.

[jeanf23426523]

When i zoom a lot on illustrator artifacts disappears.

In that case it very much looks like it's just the screen rendering.

Nevertheless: mention this to the print service. Some printing procedures might still show it, but the service provider should know best.

Ok perfect, thanks so much to all. Im very grateful.
