Adobe Illustrator/Swatches

Question
I have a mac and am using cs version of illustrator(11).

I have a problem where I have made my own swatches by using
define pattern, however it is quite basic in its appearance over
a large area (there are lines of swatch marks all over my
print)this is not what i want. I am trying to fill shapes using my
swatches, which I have imported and flattened to make into
swatches. I do not want the lines to be so harsh and for these
white lines to keep appearing. Please help!

Answer
Hi there!

I'd like to look at that a little further before attempting to answer.

Could you please send an example of the file to my yahoo address?  AmyLynPace@yahoo.com

Since I have version 9, can you please save it as a PDF file for me?

Thanks
Amy

Expertise

I can help troubleshoot your Illustrator 9 through CS3 (and most CS4) problems and suggest the best way to get the results you need. Although I can help with some installation issues, my forte is prepress and how to use the tools and functions in the application itself.

Experience

I've been a graphic artist for over 20 years. Oh my God, 20 years.
