Keep in mind that the artist may not have any experience with creating "cut ready" art. For years I created artwork for print only. I had no idea how the plotting process worked. p.s. I do now. Now if we can get these "wanna be" designers to quit dropping a jpg into photoshop and saving as as...

We order 4' x 8' sheets of alum all the time and they have the blue or pink cover on them. We peel that off right away. Couldn't they just peel that off before chopping them up. Takes all of 5 seconds. But to peel them off after chopped is nuts.

Hopefully you have access to the actual vehicle. Throw the pantone book at it and pick the closest pantone. Print small (3") swatches with varying color and laminate. Now hold those up to the vehicle and pick the best or have the customer pick.

Are you also using Flexi to design?

Our cuts are always a bit off like that. Depends on the both the size of the circle and size of the outline/stroke. Helps to keep to a short runs. Be sure to use all pinch rollers too.

Got us beat. Did some graphics on cessna's before but the don't go up that far. lol

We receive powerpoint files from military agencies all the time. The military has strict rules as to what software can legally be used on most office pc's. MS Office is the only one authorized for most offices. The Visual Information section and some other specialty shops were the only ones...

None are without fault. Photopaint is my go to as I'm a corel user.

We've been using trello for a few years now. Compared to our "old system" of various bins hanging on the walls whereby every stage of production would require each of us to carry the workorder around and place in the next stage bin. It's great for tracking jobs from your PC but you'll need...

I tried doing some freelance wraps before and it didn't work out so well. I was given an initial layout and just need to make a few changes and add-ons. No problem, "what are the add-ons"? Weeks go by, no reply, I send several other emails, nothing. I eventually ended up doing nothing but still...

And when it comes time to cut vinyl from the raster photoshop file it becomes a matter of art time to create a cut line. Or your raster design gets passed through and ends up needing to be broken apart, rearranged, recolored etc. what then?

Sure hope you mean primarily designing in illustrator with a little photoshop elements. Never design solely in raster program.

Adobe and Flexi? Nope not gonna do it! Good luck.

I can think of several quick workarounds but without seeing the actual file it's kind of hard to figure. Make sure all is grouped then try drawing your own "box" around the image in question. Select both the image and the box then choose intersect. Now just control delete all the other images out.

At the time that I joined the USAF (1984) I had no idea Graphic Design was even a choice. It wasn't until around 1994 that a coworker had mentioned that positions were open for Photography & Graphic Design. I was in a career field that was being reduced as the need no longer required as many...

We're not too concerned with colors being rgb, cmyk or Pantone. We've found that our RIP most accurately prints Pantone colors and if we're printing for a particular client that uses a vector logo with Pantones pdf best holds those correct values and the RIP converts as it sees fit. If the...

Corel X7 Made my own "Smallest File Size" General - Selection, set by the selected objects, compatibility = Acrobat 9.0 Color = Use document color settings, output color as Native Objects - Bitmap compression = ZIP, downsampling = 300/300/600, render complexas bitmaps, compress text and line...

The halftime show that has absolutely sent me over the edge! Worst ever! I will no longer watch any if "the trend" continues!

Neither are "my team" but I'd rather see the Bengals win.
