No one's going to be able to give you an reliably accurate answer to that question unless you're running a colour-managed system and you specify an ICC profile that's within your printer's colour gamut in the phrasing of your question. However, Illustrator converts my Avery Tangerine spot...

Saw this recently and was wondering if anyone's ever seen anything like it? The blue panel is 1/4" plywood wrapped in blue vinyl, with a combination of raised and recessed acrylic logo/lettering. We occasionally sub out signs like this, but the background panel is always painted aluminum. Why...

You can try it yourself for free – they have a 30 day free trial.

Do you mean an online ordering system where they pick a product, select sizes and options, and upload a print-ready PDF? Or a design-it-yourself online tool? The latter has been discussed here extensively, with the general consensus that it's a terrible idea. The former would be interesting to...

I'll bite. I'm curious what these 20 huge advantages are in Flexi vs. Illustrator. We used to use Flexi here but we switched shortly after I started, so I didn't get to learn much of it. Feel free to start a new thread though, and link to it here.

Looks like Century Old Style, but squeezed to look more condensed.

Try exporting to AI and then importing to Corel. It might work, but be sure to select the option to leave text editable when you export from Flexi.

PDF is not a format that is designed to be edited. It's internally formatted differently than your working files in Corel/Illustrator/Indesign/etc, so when you import a PDF file into one of those applications, it has to try to disassemble the PDF into an editable state without changing how...

I see. I'm not familiar with Affinity, just thought it would be able to load the document palette if it can load an AI document. Here's an ASE of our Roland library.

Yeah, you really have to learn to figure out which sites are legit and which are just pirating everything. It's the same for fonts.

Right, that makes sense that Affinity can't import AI files as a colour palette, but the Roland AI files are just ordinary AI documents with all the colours saved in the document palette. If you can open AI files in Affinity, the colours should show up in your document colour palette.

Just grab the .AI file of the swatches from your Versaworks folder. Assuming Affinity can open AI files, just open it and save the palette as an ASE. Or if you have Illustrator, do the conversion there. C:\Program Files (x86)\Roland Versaworks\Swatches\Illustrator

I started looking into this and it's probably a viable option. You can export map data to an OSM file, then use a desktop app or a command-line utility to convert it to SVG, which can then be imported into Illustrator. https://www.openstreetmap.org/ Check out the Rendering help page for a list...

The easiest way to do this is save your Photoshop file, place it into Illustrator and place your vector cut lines overtop of it, then save to PDF and load into your RIP. Here's a full tutorial: http://blog.allgraphicsupplies.com/make-a-photoshop-selection-into-your-cut-contour-path/

Our shop dog goes nuts when we do that.

If they're being mounted with VHB tape, your installer just needs a life sized printout of the outlines of the letters so they can get the spacing/positioning right. You can draw it with your plotter if you have a pen attachment, or just print it on a wide format printer. For stud mounted...

Can any printer do this? How would it split the inks into the 3 layers you need if it's done in one pass?

Andy, I have some tips for you. Hopefully others will find these useful, too. I feel like a broken record now, but try 1:10 or 1:100 scale next time. 2500in = 25in, 12" = 0.12", 96" = 0.96", and so on. Easy to fix. Say you're working in 1:10 scale and you want your raster effects to be 75ppi...

Sure, if you work in idiotic scales like 1:2, 1:4, etc. Files that are in 1:10 scale are easy for production to flag even if the designer forgets to make a note of it. We've been doing all our files in either 1:1 or 1:10 for years and never had an issue.
