Any tips or tricks for laminating banners. I'm working w/ 13.oz Scrim Banners that have been printed w/ pigment ink. I know about the wet laminate, I have a 48" Seal laminator, it does hot laminating as well as cold, any advice as to how I can use this laminator for my banners would be appreciated.

What program is the design in?

FROG JUICE is the way to go, won't yellow and hardens crystal clear

The only way I would stop using sign blazer to cut w/ is if I had Flexi, anything else doesn't make sense.

Easiest, fastest, best solution, cut a paint mask w/ your cutter and just paint it, lasts forever takes minimal effort and looks good

You can edit this graphic in SignBlazer, it won't easy, try to get a copy of illustrator to do your design work with, I use Signblazer at home, only to cut w/, design EVERYTHING in illustrator

If your creating graphics for your website and your cutter, the best bet is to get a copy of illustrator (the newer the better), and either keep your photoshop or get an updated version. Illustrator is always my go to program for my design work, I don't even use photoshop that much unless I'm setting files up for print.

What is a LORAX vector?

The best way to connect that cat to your lettering is to cut the path that the cat is on using the scissor tool where you want to connect at, then cut the paths on the lettering where you want the cat to connect, then rejoin those line. Short cut for cutting tool is (ctrl + c), to rejoin grab open end points w/ white arrow tool and press (ctrl + j)

Are you wanting someone to vectorize this whole image for you?

I suggest looking into getting Flexi Pro, so much more fluent w/ illy files. There's alot of tricks you can use in your version of illy. I'm using CS2 and was able to trace that w/ no problem. Next time place your JPG into a new illustrator drawing, then go to OBJECT. Under object you'll have a LIVE TRACE option, go to that, on the menu that pops out go to TRACING OPTIONS and play around a little, once you get the hang of it you'll be vectorizing in no time. No biggie

Save the ai as Version 8 and then drop and drag from the desktop into sign blazer, if that won't work copy the image in illustrator and paste it into signblazer. I use sign blazer at home, have had the same issue.

Any luck?
