They make textured wall wrap material. You can apply it to stucco, cinder block etc. Squeegee on then use a heat press apparatus to work it into the "grooves" or "pits" and such. We've done this to several outside walls of buildings.
Company hires you with absolutely no experience and pays your way to Design School. There you go thru an 11 week course. Two days are spent with Mac's and illustrator. Rest is color theory, drawing with pencils and crayons etc.. You complete the training and get assigned to mars (don't want to...
Exactly. That's why you want to use pdf. Vectors are preserved.
I'd like to add another point here. Let your RIP do the resampling. i.e. No need to resample your images in your working file. Just do the layout with whatever image was given. Unless the image is of poor quality to begin with. If...
1st choice would be pdf
2nd eps
3rd rgb tif
All depends on what options you're offered when saving to those formats. i.e. keep colors vs. convert colors etc.
Two cuts.
1. First regular cut
2. Then use a second 1/4" outer offset contour to half cut/perf cut
Double the time though. And you have to weed out that edge that's left.
I find it easier to "pluck" them out as it hangs off the printer. As long as the plotter is cutting across the sheet and...
Uhhh. Corel is way easier to customize than illustrator. You can do a ton more customizing too. Create your own toolbars, add/subtract tools, assign any key combo and save workspaces too.
Want to delete a tool simply hold alt and drag the icon into the workspace. Tucks it away but you can put it...
The way I see it. Under the "old" way.
A one time purchase of Corel @ $450-500 = $500 for 5-7 years
The new Subscription way. "develop" the new version in such a way as to make it the only viable option.
$198p/yr x 5-7yr = $990 - $1386
Hmmm........call me old and set in my ways but I like...
I had our print/laminating tech walk me thru the process. It's not as user friendly as I thought. Seems you have to physically hold the apparatus in place braced against wherever you set the position of the roll bump stop.
Ditto.. If at all possible leave a bit of white i.e. shape-cut vehicle graphics being applied to a white trailer. Even our prints applied to white alum we cut smaller to leave the alum edge exposed.
We use 3M IJ180 w/8518 laminate
For prints to foamcore we've gone to printing to a heavy paper...
I take this approach without any problems. Start with the highest res you can get. An experienced designer can spot the difference from an original image and a copy of a copy of a scan or an image grabbed from facebook. Don't worry about resampling/resizing it through photoshop or any other...
Uh...pretty much what I said.
btw You can make yourself a little handy macro to quickly resize photos to scale. If you bring the photo in and draw a rectangle/square around your post it it will be at 100% now resize the shape to actual and make note of the scale percentage then select your photo...
