The color trapping tool looks like it would be very effective when you have objects that overlap in partial areas. Work with it a bit and you'll quickly see how it works. Here's a sample with two overlaping objects, one black one red, select both objects then apply color trapping, see...

That works but I mostly just use inline/outline depending on the artwork. I tought myself how to do these things way back when in Casmate Pro ver.1 so I'm kinda accustomed to doing things manually, it's all basic path editing.

Some filters will work in Flexi, others that require a transparent layer will not.

When printing spot colors on my thermal resin printer I build the traps into the artwork. Generally traping each color .02"-.04" will eliminate the possibility of gaps between the two spot colors.

If you do RV/Marine graphic repairs I would suggest that you call each of these companies to request color guides. Sharpline carries a lot of nice speciality metallic colors. I have also obtained rolls of metallic colors not found on any remotly current color guides, they were on Universal...

Universal Products = Avery Vinyl Sharpline Converting = 3M & Avery Vinyls For me the benefit to these suppliers are the accessability to some speciality colors not provided to sign vinyl suppliers. Comes in handy doing RV graghic repairs.

OEM Graphtec blades in my opinion are far superior to any others, I have not tried Clean Cut Blades on my graphtec cutter because the Graphtecs will literally last for years cutting hundreds of feet of vinyl per day. I have designated a seperate blade holder and blade for reflective & metalized...

isign, I'll apologize for my sarcasm, it was unwarrented. I was probably feeling a bit upitty and frustrated over the flood of individuals jumping into this industry without knowing what they are doing or what they are even talking about. Basically my point was that file format does not...

Oh ya! forgot about those washers, arn't those the biggest little pain in the you know what? :thumb:

This is the cheaper set that I got, about 6 bucks, very well worth it. Also you can find the forceps in the fishing dept at Walmart.

Go to Sears and buy the Craftsman mini pic set, the angled/hook one works perfect for removing those tiny C-clips. Very small needle nosed pliers or hemostatic forceps preferably work great for reinstalling them.

Viewsonic G773 17" - Bought new in 1998, used daily, will not die! (I can remember when this thing looked huge, remember those tiny 13" monitors?) Viewsonic P220f 21" (2) - Love these monsters (ya, they take up the whole desktop). Viewsonic G220fb 21" - Another monster.

Toyota is definetly not gonna let loose any of their graphic files. I've recreated many factory vehicle/RV graphics over the years and generally the method I use is to trace the original by hand, scan then vectorize. Sometimes I have been able to take digital photos and create the artwork from...

I must be the oddball in the bunch, figured this one out before ever attempting my first print-lam-cut job. Well I guess that's what happens if you actually read your User Manuals before operating the machine. Never experienced curling prints after lamination either, what's that all about...

Content Aware looks like an extremely useful tool to become familiar with. Is that tool/feature new to CS4?
