Whenever someone tries to turn a business card into a sales brochure I sell them into a postcard. Business cards are for contact information. Clear and to the point. Listing everything just makes a mess...and sort of looks desperate.

Graphic Design is a curious beast. While people would hire someone to work on the plumbing, to rewire the fuse box and even hire a band to play at a wedding. When it comes to the design and layout of signage or print, they happily belt out something in word using times or helvetica and ask for...

oh boy this could be so many things. If you have just cleaned it and all your test prints look fine...(alignment, calibration etc.) The first thing, is this happening on just the one media? If it's the one media its your profile or you are just using cheap crap. if it prints the same on...

I have done some work for local artists using PGVP. I'm not sure if it is a better setting given it's for cast vinyl rather than calendered.

I have been printing vinyl for a while, just never did a whole trailer before, Always subbed it out. Since it was a quiet week, and it was for a friend... I have a whole new respect for the guys who wrap the big curvy stuff.

Having seen so many other post theirs, here is my first kick at the cat.. Ache like blazes and burned from hours in the sun, but it was a fun day.

It would drive me nuts having to wait. Congrats on the new baby. Now you just have to feed it and empty its drain bottle.

got a vp540 myself, the sp is a slightly slower version. Great machines, great quality. perfect for getting started in this trade.

Perf Cut Contour, Perfect for this kind of application, but it is finniky and hard to get right.

you have your business in one of the most beautiful places in the world. Welcome from Toronto.

Wow this guy makes a simple process into a big production!

I have the same setup only without the heated roller (I suck extra strong mints when I lam). I have just spent the whole morning laminating and while I hate doing it, but nothing went wrong today. The only place where it can really go wrong (for me) is in the setup and initial feed. I try to...

This tip is a keeper. And how the heads got clogged a lesson too.

its strange how all these examples of the "future" come from places like Japan, Korea, Europe etc. I wish North America would listen and learn instead of being convinced it does best. We need to change.

Thankfully all of this information doesn't worry me. Since I started working in the same room as the printer my attention span is ....mmm cookies!

here is the workaround solution. Create two files, one is your print file, one is your cut file. As long as they are identical sizes and both have the print/cut marks you will be fine. You can even have these in the same file, just turn on and off different layers. otherwise... set the...

if they are being ironed on by hand then you may need some other material than the standard Roland print & cut. I understand it's designed for heat PRESS.

I go for Roland, easier to learn, more durable and includes a great RIP, but the choice of machine is just the icing, All of these will do what you need. The quality of the main systems is now like the chice between Honda and Toyota. you are hanging on the last few features when to tell the...

I just had a roll of 16oz scrim wound outside. Ultraflex I belive.

document raster settings, turn off preserve spot colours Same for flatten transparency. any boxes are the result of how illustrator handles the transition between areas it has as vector and transparency effects it has to bitmap. You should also try some different output to .pdf settings...
