01 / Digital Patronage
Digitizing patterns.
Precision takes shape.
Your paper patterns are transformed into usable digital files. Scanning, color grading, and large-format printing: get ready for the next phase of your collection with Inkura in Saint-Denis.
From Sketch to File
A Ready Pattern
for the rest of the story.
We help designers, brands, and textile professionals transition from paper patterns to digital patterns. The goal: usable outlines, files that are easy to share, and a foundation for your future sizes.
Scan
We digitize the pieces of your patterns and convert their outlines into vectors so you can access your pattern in a digital environment.
List the sizes
Sizing variations allow you to create variations of a base size. Specify your size range and measurement chart to define the work to be done.
Print and submit
Export as DXF or PDF as needed, and print on large-format heat-transfer paper to prepare for cutting. Compatibility is verified with your target software.
How We Work
Three steps.
A clear model.
Before we begin the project, we define the scope, scale, and deliverables. Every project starts with your creative and production needs.
Your model
Please send us your patterns and specify the number of pieces, the base size, and any alterations needed.
Digital Work
We prepare the drawings and the selected services: digitization, grading, alternatives, or a table of measurements.
Deliverables
We work with you to determine the delivery format and printing requirements for your workshop or your partners.

Your Questions, Made Simple
Before you begin.
What file formats can I receive?
We offer DXF and PDF, among other formats. Please specify the software you plan to use and the intended purpose; we’ll verify the appropriate format before providing the service.
Is gradation included in the digitization process?
These are two separate services. The calculator lets you choose between digitization alone or adding a size range of 4, 6, or 8 sizes, or a custom size range.
How is the price calculated?
Digitization and grading are calculated per item. Example: 10 items digitized and graded into 4 sizes = (10 × €5) + (10 × €13) = €180 (excluding tax), not including options and shipping costs. A flat-rate minimum of 80 € (excluding tax) applies to estimates below this amount when a service is selected.
Can I request a printout of my patterns?
Yes, large-format heat-transfer paper printing is available among the calculator's options. Please specify the required length and your needs when requesting a quote.
