Thanks Gino. I needed that.

Yes, I'm having a bad day. Having to pick the slack. If we don't point these things out to any newbies they will keep on designing crap that I have to fix. Then the next time they'll expect it sooner and sooner and then....

Wow, did you really think I am not capable of "moving on". Of course there'll be an art fee. I was just trying to point out how frustrating it is to get requests like this.

Got a sign request for a 36in x 24in real estate coro. Even supplied the file. TOO BAD IT'S A FLATTENED TIFF THAT'S 24 x 32 AND 600DP = 1.28GBI!!! wth you freakin idiot. "Oh and can you add these elements too."

We design wraps all the time but we don't like using templates. Templates will get you in the ballpark but 9 times out of 10 when the vehicle shows up it has body molding where the template didn't show. You have to have the vehicle in for surveying. Straight on photos of all sides, front and...

Finally got it! Not really sure what the fix was though. One pinch roller was a little close to a reg mark. Adjusted first read was good but failed after second read. Align a few more times and finally took. Hmm 10 minutes before closing and customer (sheriff dept) is picking up in the morning...

Thanks. We did try all rollers at the strong setting. We had the media on a roll on input but now trying to baby it in and out. Cleaned the camera eye that reads but still no help. Now reads the first 3 reg marks then appears to read the last one but errors out once it gets back to home.

We're using a Mimaki CG-160FXII trying to plot a 52in x 140in run of printed and laminated reflective vinyl. Line up the reg marks using the cutting blade as a guide to get as accurate as possible.The material walks enough to completely miss the second reading. Cleaned the pinch rollers, all 4...

Maybe a media feed issue?

In my experience illustrator users don't care to take the time to provide a "proper" universal file.They assume everyone uses illustrator. I can tell right away when an eps or pdf file came from adobe.If I get a file that has fonts missing then it wasn't done properly. All fonts should be...

Not sure what that is but I bet Corel has an equivalent. "Break Apart" might be what you're referring to. In Corel ctrl+k is break apart.

Outlines are never a good idea in any program. In corel it's better to use contour instead.

We do all our panels beside or under the final design in Corel. We try to stick to seemless if at all possible.

Is that an HP360?

I figured that was the case. I'm using the pantone color 185 C and will export for print as a pdf. When we ask as customer to pick a color from the pantone chart they will pick either the C or CP. So since we don't always use pdf for print we have to input the formulas according to the book...

two cuts on the first go around - 1 actual cut to shape the other a larger contour around. Weed out then laminate. Now a 3 cut line in between the 2 others. Delete the orig two then cut.

I was given a logo along with the guidelines. Aks for a Pantone 185. That's it. Isn't it important to specify whether it's "C", "CP", "U", etc? I like to refer to my Pantone book to reference the rgb color formula as usually the final for print will be a 150dpi rgb tif. And the actual pantone...

Yes, but we use Corel with FineCut 8 on a Mimaki plotter.Why not just delete the first cut then cut the next?

Delete temp files, try again
