Blog | Repper Patterns

So, you have a website/blog with lots of visitors and you think they might be interested in using Repper to create patterns. Well, we recently implemented our Repper Affiliate Program. You can become an affiliate and earn money by helping us to sell copies of Repper.

How does it work?

You can sign up for the program and we will set you up an account. On the affiliate page, you get your own unique link. When you refer to Repper on your site, use that link. When someone visits our site through your link and decides to purchase Repper, you will get notified and get a share of the profit.

The referral is saved using a cookie. This means that somebody that visits the Repper site through your link, takes a look and comes back later to buy will still get you a referral. If the person buys Repper within 30 days of clicking the link on your site, you will get a commission.

How much can I earn?

For every sale you make, you get 15% of the sale price. Usually, Repper sells for € 29.00. That means that for every copy of Repper that is sold with your referral, you earn € 4.35.

We can pay you once your earnings reach the limit of € 50. You can send us a message and we make sure that you will receive your money within a day. You will need to have a PayPal account for us to send you the money.

How do I sign up?

Go to the affiliate registration page and fill in your details. You will get a confirmation email with your details. Log into our affiliate system and get your own unique URL to use in your site. It’s that simple!

Weaving expert Alice Schlein has recently discovered Repper and became excited about applying it to weaving. With 40 years of experience in weaving, we are really looking forward to see what she will be making with Repper patterns!

She has already made some wonderful B&W patterns that we would love to see woven:

She has even decided to do an online masterclass explaining how to use Repper with Photoshop and weaving software to create weaving patterns. It will be offered on Tuesday, November 8 from 7 to 9 pm EST, and you can sign up for it on Weavolution.com. Check it out!

Every so often we get a message from a customer asking us how to save patterns in Repper Pro at a higher DPI than 72.

The short answer is: you can’t.
The relevant answer is: DPI does not affect image quality, it is just some metadata in an image file. All that matters are these two things:

• 1) the resolution of your file (= the amount of pixels)
• 2) compression quality (in case of JPEG)

Read on for the long but satisfying answer that includes info about what DPI really is, how it relates to digital images, to what extend it matters and how to change the DPI of an image (if you really need to).
