30" material Job is 13.5"x98.5" Rollers are fine. Cutting Master is AUTOMATICALLY setting up tiles even when there shoudln't be any.

100% sure. Figured out that the "Page Size" setting in the Graphtec was set to only 78.84". I changed it in the Graphtec. Now, I'm going to try uninstalling and then re-installing the cutting master drivers...

Nope - page size is larger than the necessary output...UGH!

OK. There is probably a simple fix for this, but I can't find it. I'm cutting directly from Illustrator. This is a 14"x98" piece, and Cutting Master is automatically tiling it. There is no reason to tile it. I can't get cutting master to NOT tile. HELP!

Done and Done!!

Thanks for all the responses folks! OK - so, here's what i think I'm going to do. First - I'm going to do the design. Once I get that done, I will start a new thread. It will be the "Circleville Signs Dimensional Test" thread :) I will post the design. That's when I'm gonna need all your help...

When your prints dont' outgas properly you will get shrinkage on the edges. This will affect the laminate adhering to the print as well as the print adhering to the application surface. Anytime I'm doing vehicle graphics, especially with a soft material like V3, I let my prints dry at least...

Shouldn't be an issue of correct material. Sounds like you might have laminated the prints too soon. Can you provide any details on that?

Your CPU is hung up. End the task, re-boot, and fire up your RIP again. You should be fine.

I've got the basic stuff needed to do most non-electrical, non-hand carved stuff. Saws, routers, etc. Been looking for a Cut-Awl, but man - I'd really like to make a sign that electricity didn't touch. Just to see what I can do. Any recommendations on types of chisels? Brushes? Etc.?

Nothing, folks? Really?

Middle one - here's why. With those colors, the top one makes me think "something related to water" before I take the time to read. Bottom one, the icon reminds me of what a toilet seat looks like when looking down at it.

My guy is $55/sf +40% for double sided. That puts the finished sign in my hands - including all edge shaping and painting. I send them a file, I get a finished sign back. I would be paying $770 for that sign. I think your competitor is super low, and you are on the high side for wholesale work.

OK....After reviewing Shane Durnford's new website which was kindly posted in another thread, my itch to start playing around with hand crafted signage is starting up again. I'm a computer guy. I can design. I do it all the time. It's just, well, virtual. And damnit, I want to MAKE something...

Wow...Just...Wow. That hand-carved stuff is simply amazing. I have been properly relegated to my place as just a dude who uses a computer... How do you even START learning that level of carving skill?

It's perfect from a materials standpoint, but may not be from a cost standpoint. I think you need to do some more fact finding. What type of life expectancy do they desire? Do they need it to be removable without damage to the underlying paint? How would using unlaminated/digital affect any...

I've never seen a 120" plotter. And that's what you're gonna need to pull this off. Additionally, anything using ARMS for the contour solution is going to get pretty "off" on something that size. (height wise).

I gotta tell you - I would be VERY interested in purchasing something like this for my PRINTER. Changing out rolls all the time is a PITA. Being able to have a rig where I would load a roll of calendered, a roll of cast, a roll of banner, and a roll of poster paper, etc., and then just crank it...

2 minutes searching google. http://www.voidix.com/starburst.html This should get you going in the right direction - you'll need to play with it some though.

That's for sure going to be a photoshop effect. Too much transparency and gradient use to be a vector application. You're gonna have to do some research on this one. I can do it, but it isn't easy, and I don't have time to write a tutorial :)
