Great tip, Rick!:U Rock:

Rather than adding a contour cut to the lettering, first try adding an outline where you want the cut to be. You can separate the outline, weld it, work on the nodes, etc until you get it just right. Make this amended outline transparent and add the contour cut to the outline. This is a...

Thanks for all the suggestions, guys. :U Rock::signs101:

Hey, thanks for responding. I'm sure there is a way to do it. I just don't know it!

I have a 60 page pdf that I want to create an action for in PS. I want to open each page, rasterize it at a specified ppi, flatten it and save it as a tif. I have no problem creating an action to do this. However, PS wants to open page 1 of the pdf over and over. How do I specify that PS...

Ruach it is. Thanks to all who took the time to respond. I appreciate it. :thankyou::U Rock:

Can anyone identify this fugly font? The client is set on using it.

As does the color chart in Flexi. I have a large copy printed on my printer hanging above my desk that I often reference during color matching, etc.

There is an editable CMYK color chart in Flexi. Flexi>Samples>Design>CMYK Colors.pd

Are you using a canned profile? If so, perhaps you can create a profile from scratch that prints at lower resolutions?

Sounds like you either have the length percentage ramped up in your rip or your media comp is outta whack.

I think the available resolutions and pass counts are determined by the profile. You should be able to create your own profile with the desired res, etc.

Ha! I was shaking my head at this as well. And it's not a mute point--it's a moot point. And it is not even a moot point.

Wow! That's a whole lotta ink. What type of printers are you running?

I would check the cables going into the heads and make sure they are clean and seated properly. I've seen a faulty cable cause this. This can also be caused by a bad chip on the head or a bad head. Also, check the head for debris such as fiber from scrim banner, etc. And :Welcome: to :signs101:

On the Mimaki plotter, you actually do line up the laser in the position marked by the dot.

Actually, it's Franken-steen.:ROFLMAO:

This is way OT, but I just noticed that frankensigns and lunatic taskbar are both rocking Young Frankenstein avatars. Did you two plan that out? Almost makes me wanna put up a Marty Feldman. Or better yet Terri Garr. Man, she was incredibly smoking hot in that flick. Anyways, back to your...

Depending on how much of the banner is taken up by the text, you may be able to reduce file size by bringing the PS file into Flexi, masking it and using vectors for all other portions of the banner. I use this method quite a bit. That's a pretty bold statement. Photoshop is a fantastic and...

In what software are you designing the art? You should be able to import you art in to Flexi, select the layer you wish to be the cutline, and use Effects>Contour Cut. RIP and print as usual. The printer will print the appropriate crop marks, etc.
