Question Photoshop to Signlab VPM

[shacho]

Hello all, i have a 3GB file that i have to print on vinyl. This is a Photoshop image so it can not be directly dragged to VPM. Can anybody recommend how i print this and keep its resolution.

You could flatten it and save as a tiff or jpeg, then import into Signlab or VPM

Save your image as .jpg 72 pixels and see its resolution.

Flatten your image and save as EPS, or PDF and import. It will depend on the specifics of your computer as to how long it will take to import.

Depending on physical size of art you might try reducing in size in ps, resaving as psd, importing into signlab, resize there and rip.

I think Oroscoe has a good idea. I’m just wandering if Signlab and or VPM will handle a sign of this size. The customer was very adamant about keeping the size and resolution.

thanks everyone for the help.
