I am a graphic designer being asked to design graphics for a bunch of stair risers. How do I design an produce print/cut ready artwork so that the image looks correct and not distorted or elongated when being viewed from the bottom of the staircase? I thought I remembered there being a program...

I have a customer who is looking for this material. They sent the photos, I am not seeing anything that is recognizable as a brand. Thinking its either clear engravers stock, PETG, lexan, polycarb...anyone recognize it? Thank you!

So, It ended up not being the profile. I have the settings at 35 (vacuum), the heat at 196 and it is now printing perfectly. The difference being "Output Platen Protector" Kit. I spoke with someone on the phone and they recommended using these. I have never used them before but it seems to...

Do you know what the vacuum pressure is set to for that profile? I bumped the vacuum all the way up to 50 and the heat settings are set at 195. The original settings were 237 degrees and 35 vacuum and still isn't working....

Hello, We are trying to print a solid black on perforated window film and it is printing about 10" of media and then head strikes appear. We are thinking the heat settings are too high but can not find a profile for this media or one similar that works. What profile do you use (we are...

I've had this happen before as well. Sometimes if you select one of the .pdf chunks and unmask it (alt+ctrl+7), the complete image will appear or unmask all the chunks to layer and make the lines disappear. Also, when I open a .pdf in illustrator, the image is fine but the text isn't. Here is...

It just said "error: printing". so not sure what that means. I'm trying to cut the same file again today and it keeps doing the same thing. It's cutting off by at lease an 1/8". Is there a way to manually adjust it? if only I could just use the arrow and move it down slightly while it's...

That's good to know. I was thinking it was something maybe I had to do regularly, our plotter is only 3 years old so we probably have the right firmware.

I went to the graphtec site, downloaded the firmware file and followed the instructions. When I hit "print" it keeps giving me an error message. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong...

um...never. I was never shown how. How often are you supposed to update it?

I printed some decals that I want to contour cut. My Graphtec is reading all the registration marks, then starting to cut, but the cut is off. I stopped the machine, and pressed the cancel job button. When it "Canceled" it starting cutting a diagonal line from the place I had stopped it all...

There are also local Sherwin Williams paint stores that will match and mix paints for you. They also carry the Preval Spray cans (or guns) that will hold up to 16 oz of paint (Gino mentioned previous post).

Thank you. I like that idea of having them look at other trailers with large images on them. We have not done any (this job would be our first) so we do not have anything we can direct them to that we have done...

I am working on a vehicle graphics design where the customer would like to have a raster image printed large on the side of a landscaping trailer. The image they supplied was 300 (12" x 18") dpi but when I blow it up to the finished size (24" x 145") the dpi is only 38. I printed a sample 5" x...

You can cut this just like any other vinyl. As far as application, if you read the product installation sheet they recommend wet application. If you are applying something that is small and not covering much of the window a dry application would work. As far as application fluid, I have had...

I've seen where someone took a piece of metal and rusted it, took photos of it, then imported it into illustrator and used the image trace tool to vectorize it. There are also free illustrator brushes and symbols that you could download and install into illustrator to create your image. you...

Another question: does it make the install easier to not weed the graphic before applying it and then weed it once its applied? I'm thinking maybe it would help keep the masking paper stiff instead of wrinkling up where the graphic is weeded out. It's a simple graphic so there isn't a lot to...

I wanted to do it with the laminator but my boss is worried about scratching the acrylic while it's going through the laminator since it is such a large piece. I have left the paper backing on the side we are not applying to but is that enough to protect it?
