We do small HDU signs for locals once in awhile but we're not set up for mass production. Usually only 1-10 at a time. Not sure of any other source though. I'll ask around.
This is what mine is set at. Not saying it's right but it is what it is. We design in cmyk but may export for print as either eps or tif both either rgb or cmyk. Depends on what printer we're using for the job. One handles rgb's better than cmyk. Occasionally I'll export as pdf with fonts converted.
I was merely suggesting that this is bad way to do a wrap (see attached). I've seen many hack jobs and wasn't accusing any specific person here of doing this. In this example you print the whole door panel in one shot 150dpi max.
Lukas, I wish you the best at this new adventure. Can't say the best area. Savannah is certainly a large city. Be nice to be around family of some kind too. All depends on your desired pay rate. I'm paid well and I live in a fairly small city. Some would consider it very small. Do you like a...
garlness,
I think in the end I adjusted the "fade" to avoid doing the front fender. Keeping cost down.
:mad: no to photoshop only designs unless you alone are printing and installing. Combo illy & Photoshop effects is fine but Illustrator should be the primary. Or Corel with...
Wish I could make ours into a paperweight! Don't get me started though. Already went down that road elsewhere in this forum. The newer models are looking a lot better though.
Full scale is better for me. I keep as much as possible as vector. I advise against designing in photoshop (or any other raster based program). Any raster images are usually between 30 & 100 dpi. In the end all gets printed as a tif at 150dpi. We will always try and get the highest images as...
We don't use the templates for the simple fact that they are too basic. If you design then find out that the actual vehicle has plastic molding where the template did not show etc.
Take a square on shot of the side of the vehicle the best that you can. Drop the photo into you design software...
GaSouthpaw, not sure if that was in reference to me. We have Flexi on the print workstation but have no need for it. Just PM for holding/sorting printing
Thanks all for the input. We've been using the same vendor for years with no problems. I know sometimes we just do what we know and not bother letting the customer know our frustrations. LIke when we get pdf's and things are obviously wonky.We just open in photoshop and save out as tif.
