The short answer is NO. Not if you're supposed to be a professional at this. Someone, most likely you, is going to have to eat the price of new substrate. If you want to do it right.

Step and repeat won't work UNLESS you don't use the quantity setting in Rip and Print or Production manager to specify your 250 images. You have to arrange all [250 in your case] images, each with a contour cut line, to send as a single job. Then set the quantity to the number of sets of 250...

Just give it to them. The artwork has no value to anyone except, perhaps, the client. Even at that, it's not worth anything worth arguing about. Give it to them and you'll see them again. Demand to be paid for it and kiss them goodbye. If you're not charging enough that you have to chisel on a...

Print bitmaps with a rendering intent of 'Perceptual', print everything else with 'No Color Correction'. Pick the highest dither algorithm your software supports. The better the dither, the better the output.

Marabu then morphed into the name Clear Shield. It's widely used but be sure to use the 'Original Formula' or 'Classic'. It's far more UV protective than vinyl laminate and it's tough but it's still only 1 mm of acrylic as compared to 2 mm of vinyl. I've been using it for years. I never laminate...

What is with you people and Corel? I've been using Corel since version 1 way back in the early 90's plus or minus. I have never, as in ever, experienced difficulties of the magnitude that seem to inflict all of the rest of you. With any version. I'm currently wrangling 18 and, after all these...

Grays are always a problem on a CMYK printer because grays are printed using CMYK instead of just K. That being the case it's ridiculously easy for a gray to drift off to magenta or green or whatever for any reason or no reason at all. You can diddle your profile if that's what gets you off and...

If you set it the origin to one place and the plot starts at another most likely the plotter is set to receive and act on setup commands and your software is resetting the origin. inspect the particular setting on the plotter that deals with this, I can't for the life of me remember just which...

Never buy a service contract on anything. If a service contract costs $X then it's certain that whoever is selling the contract does not expect your machine to require $X of service for that period. Take the bet, you'll be money ahead.

So have I. One time I thought I was mistaken.

If you're supposed to be the professional then you decide. You don't show a client a smattering of typefaces and let them decide. The client gets to like or dislike something but you get to say what it looks like.

All of those who advocate accommodating 'outgassing' seem to be conflating two phenomena. First is that solvent ink dries via evaporation of the volatile elements. That might honestly be called 'outgassing' and, like lacquer paint, it takes minutes. And, since vinyl is gas permeable, the process...

Look at Ego and Stihl tools. Since Ego was around for some time before Stihl came out with their battery powered line and they bear a striking resemblance to the Ego line I figure that they're pretty much the same tools. Anyway, all of the Ego tools use the same 56v battery and I assume likewise...

Outgassing or whatever they call it in your village is a myth that can be used to scare small children into going to sleep. Solvent dries via evaporation and when it's dry, it's pretty much as dry as it's going to get. The process usually is measured in minutes, maybe hours, but not days. On the...

If you have to ask then most likely you're not.

'Begging the Question' is the name of the formal fallacy of using a circular argument, not demanding that some question be asked. Now that that's cleared up, please continue with the current linguistic contretemps.

That a native English speaker is confused by there/they're/their, to/too/two, or a host of other curiosities of the language is prima facie evidence that they're a semi-literate lout who has somehow learned not to make messes in the house.
