Ok, I'll give it one more go, then if i cant figure it out, anyone want to print these for me?

Here is what I have so far. also these are the instructions from the print house on doing cut lines for them.. make a new layer called CutContour Copy outline of image and paste it on the cutcontour layer (the layer must be named CutContout) Select all shapes and "Unite" to make one shape change to 100% Magenta add to swatches, the swatch name must be CutContour and changed to spot color sofar.pdf

Corp isnt an issue, we are an indirect. Just need to get it printed. And having a hell of a time figuring out the layout. Abotu ready to just have a ionline company do it for me. Its a simple layout, but i am not used to doing it...

Dakota, Its not text, I have a logo that has to be centered on two white vinyl strips. Need to make these, This is my proof artwork for them... (I actually work for the company and doing them a favor on getting this done for them.) verizonwireless_logo_lr.eps

Hello everyone. I usually only do cutting, but the company I am working for asked me to do a job that I have to have printed. Its a simple logo in the middle of a white strip. (60: long by 8 tall) i have the logo as a eps with a transparent background. It will be printed on white. My local printer needs me to send him a ready to print and cut file for my wholesale pricing. Problem is i do not know how to lay it out with cut lines and all.. its two prints, one is 60x8 and the other is 70x8. Both the same. Anyone have any links to how tos for layout design for this? I know its being printed on a 30" wide roll so it will fill both on it. Thank you dennis

nevermind, hardware flow control was mismatched to software...

Hello all I just upgraded to windows 7 on my cutting machine, (xp restore cd wouldnt read) I have the cutter connected via a gigaware usb a to serial adapter. Which under xp worked excellent. Now however it will send a test feed to the cuter, but will not cut. just sends the file an looks at me like I am an idiot. Anyone else have any issues with a windows 7 and a usb to serial adapter? Using signcut pro as well thank you dennis

My son one day shopping in there with me said it best... "They sell tools and tool shaped objects, the hard part is telling the difference"

Here is a little one I did up, enjoy. 2nd_sq1.eps

Great one! Thank you. In return i am posting one of mine...

Would say bandsaw. Cut a template out of a couple 1/8 plywood. Clamp the coro between two of them tight, then cut with the band saw. Use the same technique basiclly to cut thin plastic pieces for woodworking laminets

Also if there is anyone here that wants to give me a price on printing this, new image is 21 in diameter.

Ok After reading the above. It seems as I might have tried to take the laminate off of it. I will be going back to him on monday to talk about it. Either way the blacks were way off. More so with the laminate on it, it wasnt clear at all and more grayish then solid black. I managed to get the print of the head with only leaving slight glue residue on it, so will try getting that off before doing another one on it. It is the front head, the one that faces the crowd not the pedal side. Here is a pic of it before I attempted applying it.

One thing I can say on getting used to a tablet, (coming from my photography side) once you get it, put your mouse in a desk drawer and forget about it for atleast a week, Use on the pen. training your mind work in two planes is the hardest part.

I had a customer want a custom print made for them to put on their drum head. Since I dont to vinly printing, it was a very detailed and colorful pic. I sub'd it out to my local sign guy, been doing it 30 years, and really good. So I get the file to him, (only had a jpg but in cymk) Pick up finished print today, and proced to install Notice that the black isnt black on the print, as it is inthe pic. He used a clear laminate transfer tape over it. When I went to remove it, it was bear! Vinyl would pull back from the head, massive air bubbles, etc. Now I have a ruined head that I have to replace and redo the print to install on the new one. is there a better laminate transfer tape that i should have him use? The vinyl was Orajet doesnt have a number on it though
