    Does anyone familiar with this particular software know of any way to retrieve a corrupted file? We sent a file to VersaWorks to print yesterday. Printed fine.

  3. Using the term "die cut" vinyl lettering

  12. RIP is changing the file dimensions when processing? Why? .TIF versus .EPS

    I'm going goofy here, please help if you can. The same file sent to VersaWorks as a .tif comes out a different size (smaller) than when sent as an .eps. What is happening here? Any help greatly appreciated. The rate of "shrinkage" is 96% if that helps.

    We have had one batch of signs rejected already. Now they furnish us with a Sheeting Identification Guide 2014, showing the many makers of reflective sheeting and the grades. It's very confusing.
