If they mentioned “printing file” maybe they are looking for a vector file?

Convert it into .PDF, make sure it’s 300 DPI if it’s raster. Make sure the size is correct (if you were provided with the size).

.PNG is not what would traditionally be called “a printing file”. .PNG is more of a web/digital format.

I’m not sure you can tell someone to complete the order to get their delivery. It might get you in trouble for manipulating the buyer.

Check that .PNG is 300 DPI. If it’s in RGB, make a copy in CMYK. Send them both files via order’s page and via inbox in case there is a legitimate issue of them not seeing the file. Tell them that you’ve delivered the files repeatedly, attach the screenshots of the attachments. That’s all you can do.

… also, it’s not a completely white design by any chance, is it?

This looks like a communication problem more than anything else.

I can barely understand what happened.

@designbuzz96

Why are you here asking us when you should be communicating in a calm and polite manner with your buyer to resolve this?

but my client don’t find it !

Then make a screenshot of the delivery with a file from your side and send that screenshot to your buyer explaining where they can find their file for download.

That’s a lot of exclamation marks, that’s for sure.

give him EPS file for printing. 🙂

No, don’t give people editable vectors if they specifically requested .PNG format.

You need to use less “!!!”, especially when talking to buyers.

If you can see the file as attached, nothing is happening on your end. The buyer is either having a technical issue or (possibly) is being dishonest. Just screenshot the proof, redeliver it through the inbox (just in case) and wait for the buyer to respond. Don’t do anything else.

Buyer may be directed to you printing file means Source File (AI or PSD)

Congrats. It’s important to deliver the raw file as well for design projects…especially when they are things that need to be printed.

No, it isn’t. You don’t have to deliver a source file if it wasn’t requested by the buyer or wasn’t the part of the package that was purchased.

There are sellers who don’t give away editable files at all or include them only in certain packages.

I believe it is as that’s part of good customer service. If you’re given a job to design something that requires print and you don’t give them what they need to get quality printing done, what’s the point? Printing with PNG, JPD, PDF and such will always have reduction in quality.

It doesn’t make it the right thing to do. That’s not having the customer’s best interests at heart.

I’m sorry but it’s blatantly untrue. 300 DPI prints well. .PDF is the most popular printing format.

You are not entitled to source files if you’ve ordered a design. It has nothing to do with customer service. It does have to do with receiving more than was paid for by claiming that .PDF is not a legitimate or good enough printing format.

You can request a source file in a certain format, most likely pay extra and receive it. There is no default list of files that applies and goes with any given design project that the seller has to provide.
