Vector file is missing elements and gradients in artwork at the printer

My gradients are getting lost when I send to printing company. When I flatten and save as .eps the quality is poor. The scale of the artwork is 1:10. I'd love to send a vector file so it can scale up, but like I said, the gradient and some drop shadows and other portions of the artwork are disappearing. I'm using Illustrator CC.

It is vinyl printing. They are using a program called Vinyl Express (version 8). It's for a vehicle wrap.
My design has transparency. There are several paths overlapping containing gradients.
The printer asked me to flatten the artwork and save it as a .eps. I was hoping to submit artwork that is 1/10 to scale. Today I made it as large as I can in illustrator and then opened the file in photoshop. But then I realized at the size I was working in the artwork couldn't be saved as a photoshop .eps. The option was to save it as a large document format. I ended up doing a tiff. There are so many options in the saving process it's got me uncertain how to it just right.
I would really like to submit a vector file so the scaling is limitless, but they are asking for it flattened. Scaling it up from 1/10 isn't working because it is pixelated. What would be the best approach for flattening? I tried the flatten transparency option, but there are so many options... I'm wondering if it would be necessary to use the preset, "Complex art." And should I do 0 on the raster/vector scale?

Why are vector files losing their strokes and the paths being outlined when I place and embed them in Illustrator CC?

We use several hundred templates in eps format, so there is a lot dragging of files from windows explorer directly into Illustrator CC . However, when I hit the embed option, all the strokes are converted to shapes. We use a lot of dashed strokes so this is a problem when the embedding option changes each dash to an individual shape. It isn't on all eps files, it's random and we can't find the common factor causing this. The originals were created in Illustrator. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Your question is "Why?" and I must admit I don't know. But this is exactly the kind of thing that has always deterred me from adopting a drag-and-drop workflow in any aspect of my work.
If you're bringing those into another file, it might benefit you to open them and copy/paste instead of drag/drop.
The sequence could go like this:
Double-Click
Ctrl+A (select all)
Ctrl+C (copy)
Ctrl+W (close...and return to working file)
Ctrl+V (paste) or Ctrl+F (paste in front) or Ctrl+B (paste in back)

My mac will not copy more than one file at a time and gets locked up if the file is too large, my mac will not copy more than one file at a time and gets locked up if the file is too large

So now that you have repeated the same thing three times that doesn't make things any clearer at all.
You are copying files from where to where?
How are you attempting to copy files, software or click and drag?
Any other detail would be helpful.

Ok, since this forum is for Photoshop Standard and Photoshop Extended, we don't know much about Photoshop Elements. There is a Photoshop Elements forum and I'll link it for you since they best know how to field your questions.

Good luck on it!

After I edit a raw file in Lightroom 5 and with raw 8.5, the edited files revert back to being unedited. Any ideas?

I edit them in Lightroom. Then the little symbol appears in the bottom of the thumbnail in the film strip at the bottom of the LR screen. Then, a few minutes later, the symbol is gone. I then click on one or more of the thumbnails and the image opens in the main screen. However, all of the sliders on the right are at their defaults, and the image is back in its unedited state. Last night, for a while, the edits reappeared, but tonight they were gone again. I just recently downloaded Camera Raw 8.5. I wonder if that is the problem.
What little symbol? Do you mean the up-arrow symbol that appears top-right of grid or film strip images? This indicates that the image has been edited by another program.
Or do you mean the "+/-" symbol that appears bottom right?. This appears after editing, but if it disappears subsequently without you doing anything, it sounds like something nasty is happening to the catalogue or image xmp file on disk.
Lightroom doesn't use ACR (8.5 or any other version) - it has the same functions built-in. ACR is used only by Photoshop. Are you opening the images in ACR in Photoshop?

If by "map" you mean directory or folder, in the Library menu there is a toggle for "show photos in subfolders".

I am trying to access Organizer in Premiere Elements and it just shuts down the programme

I am trying to access Organizer in Premiere Elements and it just shuts down the programme. I tried reinstalling the programme but it just does not let me get to Organizer. Now after reinstalling, it does not let me into the programme. It just keeps on asking me to sign in. Once I sign in, it just goes blank. I checked my registration online and it is already there. What do I do apart from tearing my hair?

Please keep the discussion in the thread to which I have already replied.

I have a Windows 8.1 machine. I used a projecteor a while back in a Power Point presentation. Now my menus for Adobe are very small and hard to read. The print command is so compressed that I cannot read or use it. How do I fix this problem?

There is no application called "Adobe" - you are either working with Adobe Acrobat or the free Adobe Reader. Open up the preferences for the application (Edit>Preferences), then go to the "General" category and modify the settings for "Scale for screen resolution". You will have to restart the application after you do that. Does that fix your problems?

Not with the built-in AirPrint print function. However, you can download free and cheap print apps that can provide some (limited) printing abilities. HP's iPrint is one of those.

How can I make the rolumn and row headers appear on the printed sheet?

I am working in Numbers'09. I want to print out my chart with the column letters and row numbers showing.
How can I make the rolumn and row headers appear on the printed sheet?

g,
Those annotations are called "Labels", and they are only visible during editing when a cell selection is made within the table. If you need to have the labels on your final output, you can create labels in Text Boxes and position them adjacent to the table.

Install print driver in 10.4, and make it show on the print drivers list.

Hi,
I can't seem to install my Canon print driver, and make it show on the print drivers list. I have a Canon MP180 as a network printer on a Windows Computer, and it requires special printing drivers, not the OSX bundled ones. Without it, I can't print to it. Even with the driver installed, I can't see it on the list of drivers.
Any help is appreciated.

1. Bonjour for Windows is installed and configured properly, although it will not install or see an HP driver for the HP Photosmart C3100 printer. The only drivers the PC sees are Generic PCL and Generic Postscript. Bonjour for Windows "sees" the Photosmart printer, plugged into the Mac.
2. I don't believe the Mac's firewall is on. I'm using a SonicWall firewall appliance between our home network and the Internet.
3. Printer sharing on the PC -- as I'm sure you know -- isn't configured as it is on the Mac. There is an option to share the HP Photosmart on the PC (if the printer were plugged directly into the PC), but that is disabled. Printer sharing cannot be configured for the instance of the HP Photosmart that was installed by Bonjour for Windows.

I have a MacBook Air and for what ever reason, the print settings have gone out of whack. I am not sure how to set to print a normal A4 paper size or a standard envelope. These settings were working O.K., but not now

I have a MacBook Air and for what ever reason the print settings for envelopes and normal A4 paper size changed from printing correctly each time I wished to print. Now, each time I wish to print either, I have to rest paper size and or Envelope vertical or horizontal. Can anyone assist with how to reset in order to print correctly without the need to rest each time please?

Log in to the Developer forum. You will find instructions on how to install the lastest beta. Your problem is the beta you have installed has expired. All of them did on October 5; you will find hundreds of threads discussing this. If you have a beta it is assumed that you will continue as a beta tester, so a simple update using iTunes will not work.
If you no longer want to be a beta tester install the GM 7.0.2 by restoring from iTunes using DFU mode.
