Years ago my family and I were visiting my wife's sister and her family. They were kind enough to put us up in there home but they also had a Chow. It wasn't kid friendly. My kids were really young at the time and they would run around the house playing and would often trip over the dog. It...

Our print tech went to 19 and now we're experiencing real problems with our colors. Reprint of a file from before. Raster & vector elements as pdf. Now anything with either a drop shadow or raster image throws all the colors out or prints a background around those raster images even though...

confirmed. same exact file, same pantones. One as pdf with a poweliped/clipping mask raster image(rgb). All colors fail The other with no raster at all. Colors are perfect. Luckily only 1 of the signs has a raster image. Solution to get these signs out is to print without the image...

Little more complicated than that. Our print tech installed the "latest & greatest" version of the RIP (Flexi Print Manager). Now the signs we're trying to print to match what we had previously done for the airport won't come out right. Huge color shift among other problems. Same exact file...

I believe there is double sided white cling available. But a full color print would probably reduce the "clinginess"

Thanks. Our old Mimaki had the capability to "double-strike" a print. We used that option when printing to clear backlit vinyl. I was told our HP360 can't do that.

Pantone 306 2X CVC. What is "2X"?

Wouldn't mind seeing a shot of the madness. lol

We have a touchscreen on the front counter that shows a slideshow of our capabilities. There are links set up if a client wants to see more particular things such as only wraps. We also have a font sample set up so clients can choose what font they like. They can type in their own text and...

Agree with these steps but the file has to be set up correctly. Reg marks have to be on a certain named layer etc. The initial "read" of the reg marks is just for the plotter to get the general idea, You'll then ask it via your cutting software to make a final read of what exactly to cut.

Are you using FineCut for the setup and cut process? Corel or Illustrator?

I never even thought of stretching an image to compensate for grooves. That's just ludicrous! Just roll with it as others suggested. It's not a dually truck wrap after all.

You can easily make your own macros to do your weed lines and weed box in corel. You can also make macros to set up any other parameters. Cut layer, cut lines, bleeds etc.

Yes. Take a good straight on side shot of the vehicle. Stand back a bit. Don't try to just fit the vehicle in the field of view. Photos will tend to "bend" at the outer portions of the filed of view. You can crop it later. Take a measurement such as the fuel door or door handle then scale to...

We don't use templates. Use an actual photo of the vehicle. Templates are too generic and can't keep up with the different variations or dealer add-ons. You'll end up designing a beautiful wrap then when the actual vehicle shows up you find moldings where you hadn't expected them to be. And...

:welcome:. Good stuff in here.

We use a specific "hood laminate" on horizontal surfaces. Still only good for 3 years though. But we live 1 floor up from Satan.
