Is there a rip software that I can import orders into that will then take the sku and nest the images needed? I do a lot of made to order stuff and it would be nice to just be able to have the software fetch all the images based on what was ordered. I am looking to start printing on acrylic and then laser cutting around the design. I currently laser cut my blanks and then vinyl the designs but as my shop grows this process is for the birds…time to get more efficient.
On-top of the above, I'd just like to point out you need a special vinyl in order to laser it. Even if you didn't care about the toxic fumes...m the one time I tried to laser vinyl with PVC in it, the edges came out yellow due to the vinyls reaction to heat.
Something else to keep in mind. If you had a flatbed it wouldn't be an issue, flatbed UV ink lasers nicely.
How do the images get to your server? Do you have the ability to place the image in a specific folder?
When I was using print on demand software on my website... I'd have it export the pdfs to an onyx hot folder which ripped it with the cutline. I didn't use barcodes though,but theoretically you could setup the web2printn software to do that.
But like Pauly said.... Need lots more info on your workflow.
