  2. Grey/ gradient issue

    Not the best way to make a gradient (two shapes) I'm not familiar with InDesign but I know in corel you can make your "fountain fill" then click an icon to "smooth" the transition. And, yeah, not a good idea to mix rgb from one end to cmyk on the other end. And I've always had better luck using...
  3. Question Just wondering..........................

    very common for corporations to supply the font or pay for a particular font if it's what they want. We just add the cost into their quote.
  4. customer needs a small pole pocket banner - reply is lol

    my polite reply "It’s common in this profession to divert from using true center if “visually” it looks “off”. Since the logo is bottom heavy it would appear, if perfectly centered, that it sits too low. The image given was set up at true center. I just bumped it up a bit. I wasn’t made aware...
  5. customer needs a small pole pocket banner - reply is lol

    As I look at the image, I see that the center of the image is centered in the total absolute space. Thinking in terms of the "Rule of 5ths," so to speak, and not knowing the height dimensions of the pdf image, I'm not able to say exactly to the inch as to how to situate it. When I take...
  6. Help, please - Mimaki CG-130 FX - How to read a print file for Cutting from RasterLink6 to FineCut8

    We use Rasterlink with CorelDRAW. Much the same way. Layout the fifty in corel and use macros to create the cut layer, registration and cut marks. Should be a way one could record a script to do the same in illustrator. Corel has a step and repeat but I use a macro to do that too. We do this at...

  9. Big Circle...

    tape a piece of string to the center edge of a sheet of pvc. Make a loop at the other end at exactly 47". Put a pencil tip inside the loop and trace the half circle. Cut & repeat
  10. Orange printed as Red on corriboard. Anyone know why and can it be salvaged?

    From what I have experienced the only file format to hit pantone colors is pdf. Doesn't matter what file type you send a third party print shop. You have no idea how they're sending it to the print RIP. If they're using pdf, great, but only if the settings are correct. How the RIP is set up...
  11. Orange printed as Red on corriboard. Anyone know why and can it be salvaged?

    corelDraw converts the colors like so. SVG file from Wikipedia
  12. Anyone update to 19 yet?

    Rolled back to 12 and no more ghost color behind the transparent raster images but colors still slightly off from before. I just tweaked the lighter of the two-tone blues. Still have to print at 16 pass to get the richest colors but we can live it.

    Me likey! Nice work!
  14. Link to switch back from Flexi19 to Flexi 12

    Also see the posts here. We are in the process of testing our rollback to 12. This also was on the advice from SAi tech support. So far all indications confirm 19 is bad. Keep in mind we only use the Production Manager, all designing and setting up reg marks, cut layer and bleeds are done at...
  15. What Direction Do You Weed Your Cut Vinyl?

    Whereby weeding left to right, correct?
  16. Anyone update to 19 yet?

    Nope, didn't fix the problem. Different test file this time. A pdf with a vector pantone colored shape and the same shape converted to raster. Colors way out on the vector shape. Same pdf settings just removed the raster. Print is perfect. Sorry to say we're going to have to "rollback" to 12
  17. What Direction Do You Weed Your Cut Vinyl?

    I don't see how you describe is even possible. What hand holds the vinyl backer down.
