  3. Pricing help

    Ok so we just purchased an FC8000-160. yaaay. My question is how do you price die cutting or perf cutting printed artwork. I imagine there is a set up charge then a sq ft rate. We used to do regular RTA cut vinyl at $4 sq ft. Not sure if that is still current. any help is appreciated.

  6. Cutting Alumalite

    +1 for tracksaw. I see what artbot is saying. table and panel saw you can only make parallel or 90' cuts. with a tracksaw you can make any angle of a cut on the track so it is straight.
  7. Tailgate Wrap layout

  15. Colorburst shutting down. File too big. Now what?

    I have seen it crash when opening a 10 x 3 into a 38" wide layout. If you rotate the banner first in PS then save, it should open fine. CB will crash when there is not enough room to fit the image your trying to open into your layout width or length. If it is slightly larger your fine but if...
