Problem with Omega design

[Hielorojo]

Hello, I need print over clear vinyl two stripes for a Motorbike Gas Tank , one Stripe goes in black and the other in red, for the red stripe I need print a white layer first and then print the red over the white, the problem is that the white layer shows out of the red layer....if there any option to fix that error? I print with a Fx model, i dont like print over white vinyl and then cut them, I would make the decals over clear vinyl.

You want to mess with the 'choke" of the white... that will make the white a little smaller to allow for foil mis-registration.

Create the white as a separate file a little narrower than the red and overprint the red.

Put a stroke on the red. As red so you will cover the white

Yes it is about 0,10mm smaller than red but the problem continúes...

I will try it mate, two different layers on the design

Russ's idea is worth a try too. Sometimes I have to try a couple things to fix it.

If I put a stroke on the red the problem continúes also......white layer show out.
I apply a "negative" outline to the red layer about -0.10mm and works well in all shape but at the curve of the stripe white is off

Make sure that the red stroke is set to overprint. Otherwise the white just knocks it out.

You can also use the spectratone full option

Red top
White bottom

Then select Shrink base and enter in the amount to reduce the white by.

On the plot page click on print options. On the right hand side you'll see a menu "shrink under print". Click on primer and you can set how much you want to shrink it.

Wow, Marlene, I never noticed that option before....

 

[Jburns]

WOW - I never noticed that either.

I noticed it when I kept getting just what the OP had happen to him and was trying all the choke and spread when I saw that option.
