if its overseas production try to find out the width of the roller and setup your pattern repeated at document exact size.
good idea to also expand/flatten the pattern, and keep a copy of the working tile in your swatches. when dealing with factories, anything that could go wrong will go wrong.

neither do we. it depends on the fabric and the fabric color (whether or not you need a white flash underneath). other than that , it should be as simple as setting up the pattern as black with reg marks to be burned to a screen. ask them.
