    When discussing with our production assistant, why we always set up bleed in Illustrator, or Corel, rather than using Onyx to do this. It seems that when tiling a wall in onyx 12.2, we go into job editor, make sure the image is to size, then go to tiling setup, enable tiling, enable overlap...

    We have a client that would like a vinyl logo applied to his "canvas" 16'x 16' boxing ring. He says he was told by another signmaker that he could use vinyl to do this. Being I have never tried that, I cautioned him to give me a minute to get the skinny on this, and see if that is in fact...
